Local industry professionals will light up The Forum in red at 8pm to highlight the coronavirus pandemic’s effect on the live music sector.
A spokesperson for the Forum said: “This event will highlight the pandemic’s devastating effect on the sector. Without Government financial aid, the industry will disappear.”
Following on from last month’s ‘Light It in Red’ initiative, in which several hundred people assembled at The Forum to lend their support to the live events and entertainment industry, ‘Red Alert’ will outline the sector’s critical state and its need to stay afloat.
Hundreds of venues are expected to turn their lights red tonight, along with other creative activities being staged in over 20 cities across the UK to symbolise the industry going into red alert, and a final call to action titled ‘Throw us a line’ will be taking centre stage on London’s South Bank.
