Culture minister Caroline Dineage confirms that as a result of Brexit, musicians and arts touring in the EU "will be required to check domestic immigration and minister rules for each member states in which they wish to tour."

That may include a visa or work permit.
Dineage blames the EU, saying they rejected proposals to ensure travel was visa free. The EU has said that's nonsense, that the British proposals would not have solved the visa problem and that they offered a 90 day visa free offer for a range of professions.
Dineage says that wouldn't be "compatible" with the government's manifesto commitment to "take back control" of Britain's borders and that it wouldn't have enabled touring anyway.
Dineage: "We [the UK govt] are a lot more forthcoming, we have a more sensitive approach to visas coming over from the EU. Of course it would have been so lovely for that to have been the situation across all EU member states as well."
