I'm reading a long thread on a guitar forum and they're bitching about how one venue asked them to show/provide their insurance.

If you recall my guitar blog, as I was assembling the band, one of the very first things I spoke about was proper insurance - and treating the band like a business.

This is why my band makes the big bucks - and why they survived the pandemic. I taught 'em well, I did I did...

Insurance cant be all that much, can it?

Not even remotely (for event insurance). You can get a full year's worth of 1 mil coverage for anywhere from $200 to $1500, depending on who you go through and what you might want to add on. For about $400 you get replacement insurance for equipment. Anything over 25k won't have a deductible. Liability insurance isn't that bad, though you may need a per-location documentation. Once you've done it for one venue, you can just renew it yearly if you plan on playing there regularly.

It's pretty simple stuff to deal with.
