The country's biggest one-day music festival - Electric Avenue - is off due to Covid-19.
Canterbury Employers' Chamber chief Leeann Watson told Kate Hawkesby they're advocating for subsidies to get the industry up and running.
She says the Arts and Culture Event Support Scheme doesn't cover losses for businesses further down the supply chain.
“I think if they Government are going to continue to focus on restrictions, it really reinforces the need for them to put in place that targeted financial support.”
Thousands have signed a petition demanding support payments for workers in the entertainment industry.
