The DCMS will look into how government can support a
British festival ecosystem that is reeling from 90% revenue losses in 2020
MPs are to examine how
UK music festivals can survive in 2021 after the
Coronavirus pandemic wiped out a majority of festivals this year, resulting in revenues falling by 90%.
A new inquiry organised by a Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee will consider how the government can support music festivals next year as legal and social-distancing requirements determine the viability of large-scale events.
