Who is Trigger Cut? Trigger Cut is a rock band from Bern, Switzerland. They have played several shows throughout Europe and received critical acclaim for their live performances. While Trigger Cut may not be a household name, they have a dedicated following in the alternative rock community and have earned a reputation for their high-energy live shows and innovative sound.
And they were recently denied entry to the United Kingdom to perform at several concerts on their tour. Why you may ask. Well, let's start with the rules.
As of 1 January 2021, following the UK's departure from the European Union, there are new travel restrictions and requirements for EU citizens visiting the UK including artists.
Here are the key things you need to know:
Passport Requirements: EU citizens visiting the UK will need a valid passport. ID cards are no longer accepted.
Visa Requirements: EU citizens can visit the UK for up to 6 months without a visa. You may need to apply for a visa if you plan to stay longer or work.
Travel Insurance: EU citizens are advised to purchase travel insurance that includes health coverage for the duration of their stay in the UK.
But what about artists trying to enter the UK? If you are a musician planning to perform in the UK, you can enter the country using a "certificate of sponsorship" (COS) from each venue you want to perform in. This is an alternative to the "permitted paid engagement" (PPE) exemption, which is free, but has more limited eligibility criteria.
