European Employers Association PEARLE* has launched a new Big Mobility and Touring Survey to collect experiences of cross-border touring in the live performance sector.

The survey is open to all artists, producers and technical professionals involved in touring productions and international projects.

Removing barriers for touring artists

The aim of the survey is to identify the administrative obstacles, burdens, workloads, and associated costs faced by touring artists, producers and crew.

The findings will help PEARLE* demonstrate to the European Commission what’s really happening on the ground and how we can remove barriers for touring artists.

If you have experienced touring in the EU, please take a moment to share your views and experiences.

The survey takes 3-10 minutes to fill in, and closes on Friday 31 October 2025.
