Music Ally Focus Ep. 92: We’re joined by Annabella Coldrick, Chief Executive of the Music Managers Forum to talk about the new realities of touring in the post-covid world. The Music Managers Forum recently held a round-table event with its members and it revealed a lot of concerns and issues around touring. Artists are now facing a completely different touring environment: where a transformed economy means that touring is no longer the sturdy income source it was once considered, and artists are cancelling shows due to the lack of economic viability or as a result of mental health issues from the increased pressures around performing. We ask Coldrick what touring in 2023 is going to look like for her members and the artists they work with, and what they think the future holds.
