Welcome to 14/05/2025 Open letter calling for improved EU touring arrangements.

Open letter to the Prime Minister and Presidents of the European Council and European Commission calling for improved EU touring arrangements.

As we approach the high level summit between the UK government and the EU on May 19th, work is accelerating to ensure all sides have the information needed to deliver the best possible new deal on EU -UK touring.  To reinforce how widespread the benefits of touring reform would be, LIVE worked with Musicians Union, Association of British Orchestras, UK Music, Pearle and the Independent Society of Musicians on an open letter making the case for reform and backed by over 500 signatories.  Those signatories came from the UK and 25 member states and all sectors of live music – classical to electronic, promoter to agent, artist to venue.
