OFFICES CLOSE, SHOWS GO ON

3/13/20

The three major labels are closing their offices in the U.K. beginning Monday, and other than Country to Country Festival and BBC's Big Weekend being postponed, large gatherings are proceeding.

UMG’s Kings Cross office is closed for two weeks, and Warner Music’s office in Kensington will close for “at least” two weeks. Sony's London workers have been instructed to work from home next week until further notice.

Tonight, shows by Lewis Capaldi, Elvis Costello and Bryan Ferry are all happening, and Morrissey will play the SSE Arena Saturday. Sam Fender, Van Morrison and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are amongst acts with big upcoming gigs within the next month.
