Touring companies in particular are about to be smashed on all this. The two powerhouses in touring logistics for the Euro market are the UK and Germany, and Germany is now getting much more of the business that we used to get as their permits and paperwork are good across 95% of the places that an act will go when they tour Europe, and will remain so moving forward. Nearly every country they will perform in is in the EU and the one or two that aren’t (Switzerland and Norway usually) have LONG since established deals with every country in the world. Because we don’t have any deals what so ever in place beyond the end of the year and there are zero indications of what the outcome will be, people are simply hiring the German companies as they know they can pass cleanly and easily through all the territories, as their country of origin is and will remain an EU state. The tour buses, the arctic lorries, the riggers, the drivers, the caterers - your average arena tour has well over 100 crew members and will include anywhere from 10-20 buses and trucks in total. I was actually on a tour by an American band last year that contained 21 trucks and nearly 180 crew staff, because the production was wild. And everybody involved in that was very openly and honestly saying “This is the last time we’ll be using these guys, we’ll be going with the Germans moving forward”. So the UK can kiss goodbye to an absolute fortune in revenues. UK production riggers are actually starting to move to Germany en masse as there’s enough work already moving over there to support them, while it’s already starting to shrink here. Next year we are looking at a huge reduction in business being given to UK based touring companies as the problems are going to be both costly and potentially hugely delayed. A touring production cannot afford uncertainty or delays in any way, so people would rather have a company that they know can effortlessly fulfil the vast majority of a tour route, rather than one that potentially can’t get off the island on time, and which needs half a dozen trade deals because even if it gets into an EU state it then needs to pass into Norway, and Switzerland, and Ukraine, and so on. UK companies have no deals in place that they can point to and therefore price to - German ones are totally sorted bar the UK. And the European market as a whole is worth more collectively than the UK one is, so the Germans are winning out. Hands down.
