The announcement wasn't that new, because back in May they said that was the case in 17 countries - so two more have now been added to the list.

On Thursday, Sir Elton John, who has been one of the most vocal artists about the issue, responded by saying the latest announcement "seems to be just a rehash of what we already know". Live chief executive Greg Parmley said they were "grateful for the government for clarifying the pre-existing arrangements on travel to a number of EU countries" but "we are still some way from visa-free travel in the EU".

He added: "There are no new 'frictionless' agreements and in reality, this is only a very small piece in a much bigger touring puzzle, and substantial financial and bureaucratic barriers remain that disproportionately disadvantage smaller and emerging artists.

The DCMS said its agreements with the 19 EU member states were reciprocal, so performers and crews can travel for up to three months visa-free. But the lucrative markets of Spain and Portugal, along with six other territories, are still being negotiated, according to the DCMS. Spain is one of the top five EU destinations for touring UK artists. And much is still unclear. The government said in June that artists wouldn't need a carnet when travelling with their instruments. However, the advice is now that those traveling with instruments, equipment and merchandise may need the document.

Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, head of industry body UK Music, welcomed the government's announcement , but that was tinged with caution. For example, he doesn't feel like there is clarity on what "short term touring" means. But having that clarity for musicians and crews and for the wider sector about how long they can go to places and what will be needed is obviously very important. A DCMS spokesperson said: "We have worked at pace to ensure that performers and other creative professionals are able to tour abroad easily and have confirmed visa-free entry for short-term tours in 19 EU Member States, including France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

There are other obstacles. Mr Njoku-Goodwin said cabotage rules, which say trucks are only allowed three stops within the EU in seven days before having to return to the UK, is also a problem. That's one thing for a haulier who's going from A to B and then back to A, but for a musician and for a band or orchestra who is wanting to go to multiple locations, it just makes tours actually impossible.

Biffy Clyro's tour manager Neil Anderson says: "I have had about 12 other bands and managers asking me for bits of insight. However, the ever-changing landscape of the pandemic has forced the chart-topping rock band to postpone their four-week European tour until next year, and Mr Anderson says a lack of "clarity" of the post-Brexit rules is also a worry.
