Organisers of large events are welcoming a government scheme that would cover 90 percent of unrecoverable costs for big-ticket festivals, if they have to be cancelled or postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Economic and Regional Development Minister Stuart Nash announced the Events Transition Support Scheme yesterday, saying the organisers of large festivals deserve the public backing for the service they provide.
Veteran promoter Brent Eccles spoke to Guyon Espiner.
