End Of The Road Festival

End of the Road would not be able to happen without the team who come together each year.
Our site setup videos show just a small amount of the highly skilled workers that go into making festivals and live events the amazing experiences they are for so many people.
They desperately need continued government support until the live events industry can emerge from the other side of this crisis #LetTheMusicPlay
It takes a small village worth of people to make End of the Road happen. Events like ours and the thousands of incredible live events across the world would not be able to function without the expertise of the people working tirelessly behind the scenes.
From musicians to sound engineers, from booking agents to promoters, from artist managers to tour managers and the many many roles beyond. All of these roles - often carried out by self-employed freelancers - are in crisis and at perilous risk due to the effects Covid-19 has had on the live music industry.
Following on from the launch of the #LetTheMusicPlay campaign last month which was shortly followed by the Government’s announcement of £1.57 billion to help arts institutions and venues weather the storm.
Today we join the music industry in highlighting the plight of the jobs that make up the live music ecosystem.
A lot of these people will be cut loose from the Government support scheme for the self-employed at the end of August. A lot more will face redundancy from roles as the Government rolls back the furlough scheme.
These are hard-working, immensely skilled people who want to be back doing what they do best, but cannot because the government has closed their business down - and for very good reason. Whilst they down tools to protect all of us, we ask the Government to consider them or risk losing skills that keep the world-renowned UK music industry what it is.
I would say that is an underestimated figure. Living near Glastonbury. There are a myriad of business, small and large including the rail, coach and taxi networks that depend on the seasonal income. Hopefully we can find a way to make it all work again regardless of this current government.
COVID-19 has affected many, many businesses, but has been felt heavily through the live music industry.
Months worth of hard work that go into festivals like End of the Road and many other fantastic events around the country evaporated overnight, with entire annual incomes given up. Many taking the decisions themselves before the Government did because it was the right thing to do.
Today marks the launch of the #LetTheMusicPlay campaign to ask the government to do the right thing in return - help support the live music industry on it's road to recovery.

Missing you End of the Road..... hoping so much for 2021 🙏
Done 😇 and thanks for posting End Of The Road Festival 2021
We were so excited about welcoming Andy Shauf back to End of the Road in September, and we know a lot of you were as excited about seeing him.
Next Tuesday (June 30th) Andy will be appearing in his first live stream since the pandemic began, playing an all-request set from his home in Toronto.
This one-hour performance will help to raise funds for a variety of causes, including his neighbourhood's Parkdale Community Food Bank, Nia Centre for the Arts (a Toronto-based not-for-profit arts centre that supports, showcases and promotes an appreciation of arts from across the African Diaspora), and Andy Shauf's band and crew. Fans can make song requests by visiting Andy's Twitter or Instagram (@andyshauf), or through the Facebook event page for this show.
