Musicians Demand No New North Sea Drilling | UK News

Over 200 musicians, from Massive Attack to Brian Eno, are urging PM Andy Burnham to block new North Sea drilling — especially at the Rosebank oilfield — arguing it won’t cut energy bills and most oil will be exported. They warn the climate crisis is already here, wrecking schools, festivals, and lives amid record heatwaves and wildfires. Environmental groups echo this, pointing to Greenpeace’s legal halt of previous approvals and demanding action now. The government defends fossil fuels as vital for jobs and energy security, insisting oil will remain part of the mix while clean power grows.
