I am still struggling with this. After more reading, experimenting, testing etc I have come up with this set of args for the query I am trying to create, but still with no output.

<?php 
 //Set server timezone to GMT
 date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); 
 //Today's date
 $date_1 = date('Ymd', strtotime("now")); 
 //Future date - the arg will look between today's date and this future date to see if the post fall within the 2 dates
 $date_2 = date('Ymd', strtotime("+48 months"));
?>

<?php
 $byartist_args = (array(
  'numberposts' => -1,
  'post_type' => 'Event',
  'meta_query' => array(
  'relation' => 'AND',
  array(
   'key' => 'artist',
   'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"',
   'compare' => 'LIKE',
  ),
  array(
   'key' => 'event_date',
   'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
   'type' => 'DATE',
   'value' => array($date_1, $date_2),
   ),
  ),
 ));
?>	
<?php $byartist_query = new WP_Query( $byartist_args ); ?>

I can only assume that the issue is with this part, as everything else seems to be working okay:

'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"',

There must be a way to compare the current post ID with the ID in a post object field and output based on this. Anyone?
