Music Industry Pushes Government to Resolve Post-Brexit Touring Challenges
Music Industry's Challenges Post-Brexit
The music industry is grappling with significant barriers following Brexit. Industry insiders have voiced their concerns, demanding the UK government find viable solutions for musicians facing restrictions when touring in the EU.
Understanding the Impact
As per the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, musicians are allowed to work up to 90 days out of every 180 days. This regulation has created several challenges:
- Longer Tours: Artists find it difficult to manage extensive touring schedules.
- Multiple Acts: Musicians performing in various bands face added complications.
- Logistical Issues: Crews must be on-site before and after performances, complicating arrangements.
Keir Starmer has been reminded of his commitment from Labour's manifesto to enhance trade and investment relations with the EU, especially for touring artists who are affected by these limitations.
