Ben Lovett from the Grammy-award-winning band Mumford & Sons told Sky News it is an issue they would"kick and scream" about in his touring days."You can lobby and especially as you get more successful you can have a platform for it. But it's just a request, right? - if you're saying you're not happy with the way something is.
Music merchandise is big business in the UK with t-shirts and hoodies often selling for upwards of £30 at concerts as fans take away souvenirs of their favourite musicians."I remember going to Blink 182 and No Doubt," Lovett says, recalling the gigs he loved as a youngster.
