23 June 2025 - Press releaseAnnabella Coldrick, Chief Executive, Music Managers Forum:
"The MMF welcomes the incoming Music Growth Package and the Government's recognition of a need for progress on areas including streaming reform, EU touring, and grassroots live music. The UK should be the best place in the world for artists and other music makers to base themselves and build a career. This announcement provides an opportunity to set the industry's compass towards that goal."
David Martin, CEO, Featured Artists Coalition
"The FAC welcomes the Government's announcement of a Music Growth Package, and particularly the recognition that artists and other music makers provide the bedrock of our entire sector. It is now vital we can calibrate this support into structural changes around the economics of music streaming, grassroots and EU touring and the application of AI technologies. It's imperative that the music business of tomorrow is more artist-friendly than the one that exists today."
UK Music Chief Executive Tom Kiehl said:
"UK Music welcomes the Government's Creative Industries Sector Plan and the important status that it gives to music. The Sector Plan rightly recognises our world-beating £7.6 billion music sector as an essential high growth driving part of the creative industries.
"It is hugely welcome that funding packages and programmes are being made available to turbocharge the music industry and we are incredibly excited at the opportunity to be working with the Government to deliver on this."
