MPs urge action to save UK music festivals from another 'lost summer'

Cross-party committee calls on government to create insurance scheme before it is too late Immediate action must be taken to save the UK's music festivals from another "lost summer" due to Covid, a cross-party committee of MPs has said. Ministers must create a government-backed insurance scheme for festivals as soon as possible, given their long lead times, a report from the Commons digital, culture, media and sport committee argued, saying even now it would be too late for many events.
