<p>The Government recognises the significant contribution of live music to the UK,
both culturally and economically. Live music venues are hugely important to the UK’s
music tourism industry, which - according to UK Music - generated £4 billion in spend
in 2017. That is why we have undertaken a number of measures to support and protect
this sector, including reforming licensing and planning and introducing the Live Music
Act, making it easier for promoters and venues to put on live music events.</p><p>
</p><p>VisitBritain research shows that in 2017, over 2.6m international visitors
attended a live music event while visiting Great Britain, representing 7% of the total
visitors received.</p>
