  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Musicians' Union
    Written evidence submitted by the Musicians’ Union Musicians Union’ response to DCMS call for evidence ‘The future of UK music festivals’ The MU represents over 32,000 professional musicians working across all sectors of the UK music industry. 1. What is the economic and cultural contribution of the UK’s festival industry? 1.1 UK music festivals attract audiences in excess of 4.9 million annually (2018 figure). i This has increased from 2.79 million in 2012. They generate international as well as domestic tourism and provide an important boost to local (and in particular rural) economies. 1.2 Festivals are an important part of the live music ecosystem and its talent pipeline. They play a key part in the career path of many musicians whether a) an emerging artist playing a small stage or b) a headlining act on the main stage. You don’t get to b without first starting at a. 1.3 The UK’s large and diverse festival circuit ensures that artists can develop and grow their audiences, which boosts the economy and the cultural footprint of the UK. 1.4 Many festivals are programmed around a particular genre or theme, which is invaluable for niche artists who may otherwise struggle to have a full touring itinerary across music venues. Such events feed into the diversity of UK music, and allow artists to sustain a career without compromising their musical output, and also for fans to access and discover their favourite kinds of music. 1.5 Playing outdoor festivals in the warmer months to larger audiences can also boost audiences across the UK to attend indoor gigs during the colder months, again supporting local communities, culturally and economically.
