Here Are Some Of The Bands Showing Their Support For The #LetTheMusicPlay Campaign

As we all know the COVID-19 pandemic has put a halt to so many different parts of our lives. One of the first to be stopped was the live music industry. 

From crews and bar staff to promotors and of course bands, the disappearance of live music has affected so many people. 

In 2019 the live music industry added £4.5 billion to the UK economy. Right now it is in serioius decline. 

90% of grassroots venues in the UK are in danger of closing and up to 50% of the live music workforce are set to be unemployed. 

That's why the Concert Promotors Association have kickstarted the #LetTheMusicPlay campaign to encourage the government to inject enough money into the industry and effectively save it. 

A whole host of bands have been voicing their support as well, which you can check out below:

The last show we played in Hatford CT. We are calling for the government to demonstrate, clearly how they plan to support the live entertainment industry which is soon to lose over 200,000 jobs; hundreds of venues & artists. #letthemusicplay pic.twitter.com/raCdS6CRg0

we would not have been able to do what we’ve done for the past decade+ if it wasn’t for the time we spent as teenagers playing a supportive circuit of grassroots music venues.
but this isn’t about us going off around the world and having fun... 2/4 #LetTheMusicPlay pic.twitter.com/CvU5pfcbCH

UK music exports contribute £2Billion+ to the UK economy.
over 90% of UK music venues are at risk of closure unless government steps in to support them through this time.
you don’t need to be a rocket surgeon to see the devastating effect this could have.
