PSA TPG LAUNCHES COVID-19 WORKING GUIDANCE Professionals from across the concert touring industry have joined forces to form the PSA Tour Production Group (PSA TPG), in order to provide a unified response to the impact of COVID-19 on live music events.
At a time when live event industry support and guidance is scarce, a group of dedicated professionals from across the global concert touring industry have joined forces to form the PSA Tour Production Group (PSA TPG), in order to provide a unified response to the impact of COVID-19 on live music events. The group is a new arm of the Production Services Association – the largest UK trade body for the live event production industry – and includes tour managers, production managers, safety professionals, venue and festival managers, travel and logistics specialists, promoters, and leading industry suppliers, who work with artists at all levels of touring, from emerging acts to the biggest performers in the world. The PSA Tour

PSA TPG’s formation centres around the touring community getting back to work safely and supporting its survival in a pre-vaccine COVID-19 era. The Group acknowledges that tour-specific guidelines will become the norm for live production professionals to work and interact safely 08
