UK Touring Funds: Stricter Rules After Kneecap Controversy
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
The UK government has revised its guidelines for artists seeking touring funds, following a controversy involving the Irish rap group Kneecap. The Music Export Growth Scheme offers grants from five thousand to fifty thousand pounds, but now includes stricter checks, such as social media reviews and verification processes. Kneecap, who won a court case against the government for unfairly blocking their grant, has used the experience to inspire new music and advocate for working-class Irish culture.
