<p>The Government recognises the importance of touring for UK musicians and other
cultural and creative practitioners, and their support staff.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Leaving
the EU has always meant that there would be changes to how touring artists operate
in the EU. DCMS has engaged with the sector extensively throughout negotiations and
since the announcement of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement to understand the diverse
circumstances of companies, organisations and individual practitioners and how they
may need to adapt as they plan activity across the European Union.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>Going forward we will continue to work closely with the sector, including
with representative organisations, to ensure businesses and individuals have the advice
and guidance they need to meet new requirements. Touring artists should always check
individual member state requirements as these differ across different countries. In
some cases, visas and work permits may not be required.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We
know that while leaving the EU will bring changes and new processes to touring and
working in the EU, it will also bring new opportunities. In all circumstances, we
expect UK musicians’ work to continue to be an export that is as highly valued in
the European Union as it is across the world.</p><p> </p>
