Article summary

The House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee has published a report on the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on festivals and the future of the industry. The report is critical of the government’s lack of support for the insurance of such events, arguing that it means festival events are likely to suffer in 2022 as well because of ongoing uncertainty. The report also urges the government to do more to ensure the festival sector is meeting its environmental targets, as well as amending legislation to tackle issues in relation to drug safety at festivals.
