英国一半以上的基层音乐场所在2025年损失了金钱,导致30个关闭和6 000个工作岗位,原因是成本上升和旅游萎缩,促使人们紧急呼吁在2026年6月前征税或政府采取行动。
Over half UK grassroots music venues lost money in 2025, causing 30 closures and 6,000 jobs due to rising costs and shrinking tours, prompting urgent calls for a levy or government action by June 2026.
英国一半以上的基层音乐场所在2025年亏损运作,导致30个关闭和6 000个就业机会损失,这是创纪录的最大下降,原因是政府改变国家保险和商业费率导致成本上升,以及影响到175个城镇的巡回巡回演出不断减少。
More than half of UK grassroots music venues operated at a loss in 2025, leading to 30 closures and 6,000 job losses—the largest decline on record—due to rising costs from government changes to national insurance and business rates, along with a shrinking touring circuit affecting 175 towns and cities.
音乐地点信托基金警告说,如果不在2026年6月前采取行动,该部门的基金会将面临风险,敦促实施自愿的基层税,将大型音乐会的收入再投资到当地场地。
The Music Venue Trust warns that without action by June 2026, the sector’s foundation is at risk, urging implementation of a voluntary grassroots levy to reinvest revenue from large concerts into local venues.
如果税收失败,信托机构则表示可能需要政府立法。
If the levy fails, the trust says government legislation may be needed.
为此,它将扩大紧急援助、咨询服务,并投资200万英镑用于降低成本方案,强调基层场地是国家基本基础设施,需要长期保护和结构改革。
In response, it will expand emergency aid, advisory services, and invest £2 million in cost-reduction programs, stressing that grassroots venues are essential national infrastructure requiring long-term protection and structural reform.
