Welcome to LIVE Touring

LIVE Touring brings together representatives from the sector which underpins the UK’s position as an international cultural powerhouse, and one of only three net exporters of music worldwide.

Since the UK’s exit from the European Union, that position has been in jeopardy with fewer musicians able to tour. LIVE Touring leads on advocacy for improved EU touring arrangements which will protect working musicians, support the economic contributions of their work, and defend the pipeline that represents the future of our industry. Our bi-monthly discussions build connections between adjacent advocacy campaigns, connects policy makers with industry experts, and supports research projects.
