Quick answer

Share a timed run-sheet, confirm the artist's travel, complete the sound check before doors open, prepare the green room, brief security and photographers, run the stage cues, settle payments as per contract, and see the artist off safely.

Before the doors open

Most event-day problems can be caught before guests arrive. This page is written so that anyone new to event day checklist can plan with confidence. Clients often tell us that artist coordination felt far simpler once the rider was explained line by line. Print the final running order and hand it to the stage manager. Our advice on artist coordination is free, whether or not you go ahead with a booking.

  • Confirm artist travel and pickup
  • Complete sound check
  • Green room ready
  • Security briefed
  • Photographer briefed
  • Stage cues rehearsed

During the event

Run the show to the clock. One person calls cues; one person looks after the artist's team. Our team is available on WhatsApp for quick questions about artist coordination. Clear agreements make working relationships with artists smoother over time. We are happy to talk through event day checklist even if you are only at the idea stage. The best results in artist coordination come from matching the artist to the audience, not just to the budget.

After the event

Settle any balances as agreed, collect content, thank the artist's team and review what worked for next time. Permissions take time, so start the paperwork early. Two quotes can look similar and be very different underneath, which is why itemisation matters in event day checklist. In our experience, artist coordination goes smoothly when one person on your side owns the decisions. Our approach to artist coordination is simple: confirm in writing, itemise every cost and keep one point of contact.
