They have written a joint letter to Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden to warn that the ‘world-leading’ sector is at imminent risk of suffering mass job losses.

With concerts and festivals unlikely to return until 2021, they have asked Mr Dowden to provide a timeline for reopening venues without social distancing. They also want a business and employment support package plus VAT exemption on ticket sales.

Other musicians backing the action include Sir Rod Stewart, Coldplay, Eric Clapton, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Sam Smith, Liam Gallagher and Lewis Capaldi.

Many were due to play at last weekend’s Glastonbury and other summer festivals including All Points East and Parklife.

The artists say: ‘Live music has been one of the UK’s biggest social, cultural, and economic successes of the past decade.

‘But, with no end to social distancing in sight or financial support from Government agreed, the future for concerts and festivals and the hundreds of thousands of people who work in them looks bleak.

‘Until these businesses can operate again, which is likely to be 2021 at the earliest, Government support will be crucial to prevent mass insolvencies and the end of this world-leading industry.’
