THE STAGE IS
A BUSINESS TOO.

01

BOOKINGS

A professional booking starts with a clear act, contact route, availability, fee structure and practical information.

02

AGENCY

An agency becomes useful when there is something real to sell and enough demand or potential to justify systematic booking work.

03

FEES & DEALS

Know what your fee includes, what costs sit outside it and whether the deal is fixed fee, door split, guarantee or another structure.

04

PROMOTERS

Promoters buy a proposition, not only music. They want to know audience fit, live proof, timing, technical needs and commercial expectations.

05

FESTIVALS

Festival bookings involve programming fit, logistics, hospitality, production and strict planning. Being musically good is only one part of being easy to book.

06

LIVE RIGHTS & REPORTING

Live performance and public music use can have rights implications separate from the booking fee. Correct reporting helps the rights chain work.
