| Comment | Brexit has made it a massive ballache for international acts to come to the UK due to all the visa paperwork and additional costs required, which is having a huge impact on the festival scene. Much easier to go to Ireland as part of an EU tour.
See also Celtic Connections which used to be renowned for having a huge selection of World Music acts, now has approximately fuck all, and plenty that are meant to happen get cancelled by the Home Office.
And vice versa - all the UK acts are losing out on European gigs, motivating them to play UK festivals instead. |
