Train strikes
21 June 2022 - Press releaseJon Collins, CEO of LIVE (the voice of the UK’s live music business) said:
“This is one of the biggest weekends of the year for live music fans, with Glastonbury and British Summer Time both taking place for the first time in three years, due to the pandemic. However, fans and staff now face severe delays and potential safety risks as they are forced to choose alternative routes.
“While we recognise the legitimacy of this action, our sector is facing a perfect storm of fragile consumer confidence, rising costs, inflation, and supply chain issues, meaning we frankly cannot take the impact of further strikes threatened this autumn. On top of this week, any additional action will have hugely negative impacts on a sector that is already on a cliff-edge."
