Support the Live Music and Arts Industry
The government has supported numerous business sectors through this pandemic but has ignored the arts and music industry.
The live music industry added £4.5bn to the economy in 2019 and supported 210,000 jobs throughout the UK
The UK is home to the most popular arenas in the world yet they are set to lose 5 million visitors due to COVID-19
90% of grassroots music venues are under threat of closure. They need £50 million cash injection to ensure they do not go out of business.
Music festivals support 85,000 jobs, but with the entire summer wiped out, many are currently facing collapse.
Up to 50% of the live music industry’s workforce is facing unemployment leading to catastrophic loss of skills.
