The UK festival sector is in crisis, with over 40 events cancelled ahead of this year’s season according to the @AIF_UK. Amidst the rising price of production, and the ongoing cost of living crisis, how are organisers feeling? And what solutions are there?

43 UK music festivals have cancelled so far this year according to the @AIF_UK, who warn that figure could reach more than 100 by the end of the summer.

I've been investigating why this industry is calling for much needed support as their operational costs spiral ...
