News that Glastonbury will not go ahead in 2021 is a further sign of the need for urgent support, UK Music says.
Chief Executive Jamie Njoku Goodwin said there is now "a huge cloud of uncertainty" over the summer festival season and industry with thousands of jobs in jeopardy.
"Without more Government help, there is a real risk that some of our world-leading music scene will disappear forever.
"When the time comes for the post-pandemic recovery, we can play our role in our country's economic and cultural revival. But until that point, we need more financial support to keep us going."
