UK Presses Brussels to Ease Post-Brexit Musician Touring Barriers
Original: UK Pushes Brussels for Progress on Brexit Touring Crisis. Four years on, UK and EU musicians are still picking up Brexit
Four years after Brexit took effect, UK musicians still face costly visa and paperwork requirements when touring EU venues, with EU acts facing reciprocal hurdles. The UK government is now urging Brussels to renegotiate a mobility deal covering touring crews and equipment. Industry groups say the continued restrictions are draining artists' income and hurting cultural exchange between Britain and the continent.
Why now: The UK government is actively lobbying the EU for changes to post-Brexit touring rules, renewing attention on a long-running grievance for musicians.
