BACKRevenue from live music events down 80%, says PRS report
PRS for Music, the organisation that represents the rights of songwriters, composers and music publishers, distributed £699.4m to its members in 2020 – a year-on-year increase of 2% (£13.4m).
While distributions in 2020 were positive overall, many of the royalties paid out last year were collected before the first lockdown. This suggests that a sharp decline in income will be felt by music creators through 2021 and beyond, with distributions expected to fall by at least 10%.
