This is shown by a new survey from European Movement UK, which works to bring Britain and the EU closer together after Brexit, writes The Guardian.

59 percent of musicians say European tours are no longer feasible.

Touring in the EU is still financially unprofitable after Brexit for many musicians and artists.

Tom Kiehl, CEO of the music organization UK Music, also tells the newspaper.

Kiehl emphasizes that in 2025 an agreement was made with the EU to support cultural exchanges and calls for action.

Different visa systems in each EU country, new work permit requirements and the Schengen rules make touring more difficult.
