Forum Music Festivals founded
Forty festivals from all over Germany have come together as a forum on behalf of hundreds of others. They are calling for more state aid and uniform regulations.
It is unacceptable that festivals are left alone with the decision to cancel and expose themselves to liability risks that cannot be quantified, writes the forum. Strict hygiene and social distancing rules could also be implemented at cultural events.
Reliable criteria and clear framework conditions regarding the future eligibility of costs are also needed quickly. In addition, many festivals are facing negotiations about public funding for the coming year. The Forum is therefore calling for a flat-rate assessment and approval of the average grants for the past three festival editions.
