As the season for festivals and open air concerts in Europe comes closer, I would like to remind you that statistically, inclement weather is a leading cause for cancellations of the outdoors events.

WING spring assembly was held in Vienna. We always enjoy meeting our colleagues from all around the world and sharing ideas and business opportunities. Park Hyatt Viena was stunning, we especially enjoyed the congress room!

Statistically, the most common cause for event cancellation is cast non-appearance. It is important to understand that the cast nonappearance cover covers also close family members as a potential insured cause for cancellation.

It has to be said if the gig was insured and there is a clear medical reason for the cancellation, the organizers are entitled to claim all irretrievable costs and loss of profit expected.
