More than 200 artists have joined the #LetTheMusicMove campaign to push for a reduction in Brexit-related costs and red tape faced by U.K. musicians and businesses planning tours in the EU. Wolf Alice, Annie Lennox and Radiohead are among those lending their support.
The campaign is urging the Government to act now to mitigate the slew of Brexit-related expenditures, restrictions and bureaucracy, which is making EU touring unviable and threatens the future success of British music.
Currently, the U.K. is the second biggest exporter of music in the world and Europe is its most important overseas market. In 2019, U.K. artists played almost four times as many shows across the EU than they did in North America, according to data from PRS for Music.
