Dave Stewart is continuing to look ahead to the future of music, with his venture group RARE Entity taking a strategic stake in livestreaming platform Lounges.tv.

Backed by Simon Cowell, Lounges.tv is built around a simple but important idea. Live music should not be limited by ticket prices or venue sizes. Instead, it should be accessible to fans everywhere.

RARE Entity will now play an active role in the platform’s growth, helping to expand premium livestreaming, strengthen direct fan engagement, and develop new ways for artists to earn from their work.

The platform already stands out for its artist-first approach. Creators can stream live and on-demand content using pay-per-view, tipping and subscriptions, while keeping around 80 percent of their earnings and getting paid within 24 hours. It is a clear move away from traditional streaming models.

For Dave, the motivation is clear. As live shows become harder to access, with rising prices and limited capacity, platforms like Lounges.tv offer a way to reach global audiences without losing the connection that makes live music special.

This partnership also reflects what RARE Entity is set up to do. Founded by Dave alongside Dominic Joseph and Rich Britton, the venture group focuses on building projects that give artists more control, ownership and long-term value.

For fans of Eurythmics, it is another sign that Dave’s creativity goes far beyond the music itself. He continues to look for new ways to connect artists and audiences, and to help shape where the industry goes next.
