Rider

Side agreements optional?^*

This is the safest option to ensure that your requirements (marked in your riders) will become part of the contract. If you choose this option, please cross-check your ideas with venue and budget of the event. You won't get a gig if you ask the small town club for the technical setting of a stadium rock band. Generally it is reasonable to reassure certain minimum standards for the deal sheet.

YesNo

Technical Rider

Here you can upload your technical rider (also: stage rider). The technical rider lists the technical requirements of the artist for any given gig. Ideally includes an additional stageplan outlining the setting of artists, instruments and equipment on stage. Everyone loves PDF files but we will also accept any established Office document.

Add File

Catering Rider

The catering rider informs the promoter on the artist's culinary preferences (vegan, vegetarian, carnivore), the preferred aperitif, the most wanted brand of beer. The catering rider is usually part of the contract and will be made available for promoters only on your Artist Page.

Accommodation

Travel Party (people)

The travel party includes all your fellow travelers. Count in roadies, driver, engineers etc.

Additional Claims

Here you may state additional demands for the promoter which you want to be stipulated in the contract. This includes specials like backstage interior, stagehands, merchandising equipment, hotel shuttle etc.Be advised that every special demand may produce additional costs for the promoter. Limit yourself to the everything necessary and do not try to push your luck. Wouldn't it be a shame if the unreasonable demand for an Armani couch in the backstage area becomes the deal breaker.

Questions by the promoter

What do you hope to gain as a result of attending the conference? Playing at the showcase festival is just one part of the experience of taking part at FOCUS Wales. Our experience tells us that it's the artists who make the most of the daytime conference who are the artists coming away with the deals. So what do you hope to gain from the conference? (Connect with a label / booking agent / festival bookers? Help us to understand what you hope to gain from taking part in the event)^*
