Give it some welly: the 30 best UK music festivals still available to book theguardian.com/music/2023/apr…

76% of festivals still scheduled to go ahead take place in July and August. “It is hugely positive that there was a festival pilot as part of the Events Research Programme. But, without a safety net, independent promoters cannot begin to confidently invest in their events"

#WEMAKEEVENTS We stand as one with our colleagues. We stand as one with our suppliers. We stand as one with our freelancers. We stand as one with our clients. We stand as one with venues. We stand as one with all event professionals. We stand as one with our friends.

We need our government to recognise that immediate action must be taken to protect our events industry. No crew, no show, no joy. Howay. #wemakeevents

The live events industry is in crisis. Thousands of people who make up this sector are out of work and the entire supply chain is at risk of collapse. Today we ask for urgent government action to protect the thousands of jobs at risk. wemakeevents.com #WeMakeEvents.

#WeMakeEvents Over 70% of the events industry is freelance. We are calling on the government to offer them more support and a clearer future.

"We’re at the point now where the roofs over people’s heads and the food on their table is under threat. We need to protect the people who have fallen through the gaps.” #LetTheMusicPlay #WeMakeEvents nme.com/news/music/let…

#WeMakeEvents #LetTheMusicPlay @WeMakeEventsoff Today we stand with our friends & colleagues throughout the music industry to once again call on the government to take action and support the huge number of skilled people whose careers & businesses are currently at risk...

The events industry delivers sport, weddings, gigs, festivals, exhibitions & more worth £80bn to the UK. Non-viable? No way. Support it @RishiSunak @OliverDowden. #WeMakeEvents: you’re pulling the support that will allow the UK to celebrate again. We deliver, now it’s your turn

The #WeMakeEvents Global Day of Action is today. Please support and follow @WeMakeEventsoff for the latest updates. We need to #StandAsOne to show Governments worldwide that our extremely viable festival and live music industry industry needs support.

"Culture is one of our biggest exports. It just feels so abandoned" Musicians and crew warn government of bankruptcy and industry damage without urgent support #LetTheMusicPlay #WeMakeEvents @WeAreTheMU @musicvenuetrust @FeaturedArtists @UK_Music nme.com/news/music/let…

The moment thousands of #eventprofs turned their backs on Parliament, protesting the lack of government support to the crippled events industry. @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet targeted support is urgently needed to protect hundreds of thousands of jobs!

Rishi Sunak is writing off thousands of businesses and 1m workers when he refuses to support shut-down sectors because they aren’t “viable”. That means weddings, events, clubs, festivals and sports venues are being dismissed as "unviable". It's wrong and he must change course.

'You miss events, we miss our income' - @thenec supplier warns of swathe of job losses ahead of restructure. Powerful news story here which touches on the scale of the impact on jobs and economy #eventprofs coventryobserver.co.uk/news/you-miss-…

Do you know how much the #EventsIndustry is worth to the UK? As of 2019 it was £84bn. Let's get this retweeted to show @RishiSunak & @BorisJohnson what they are ignoring. #Journalists, you will find the source of these figures here: conference-news.co.uk/coronavirus-up… Get sharing #Eventprofs

Anger as government's new job support scheme seems to ignore the needs of the music industry nme.com/news/music/mus…

Deeply worried today's statement does not rise to scale of jobs crisis: nothing for sectors that cannot effectively open, e.g. events, weddings and nightclubs, part time wage subsidy which may be inadequate for many firms, and not enough action on job creation.
