Talent agency Wasserman Music and music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins have announced the return of fundraising event Music Mudder.

Due to take place on 19 September in Dorking, Surrey, Music Mudder 2025 will see teams take on Camelot Events’ Nuts Challenge obstacle course to raise funds for Nordoff and Robbins.

The 2024 edition of Music Mudder, hosted by broadcaster and content producer Ore Olukoga, raised more than £75,000, and involved 540 people across 56 teams from all corners of the music industry. ASM Global won the top prize for fundraising, with more than £8,000 raised, Team Atlantic were the fastest overall team with an average time of 1 hour 18 minutes and 38 seconds, and Oscar Tuttiett, who was competing on the AEG Winners 2023 A’ team, completed the challenging 7km route in just 49 minutes 21 seconds to secure the fastest individual time.

ASM Global HR director (UK Venues) Nicola Jackson said, “It’s an honour to represent such a worthwhile charity and to have Nordoff and Robbins as our national charity partner. Having experienced first-hand the music therapy that is offered to those with challenges, we understand the difference it can make. Working within the music industry, we know just how powerful a connection music brings to people’s lives, so what better than to spend a day in the mud raising money for such a great cause.”

Teams of 10 cost £1,000, plus a minimum of £500 fundraising per team and can be booked by emailing info@music-mudder.com or via music-mudder.com.
