Common questions
What is artist liaison?
Artist liaison is looking after performers from arrival to departure: transport, green rooms, riders, schedules and making sure they're on stage on time.
What is advancing?
Advancing is confirming every detail with an artist's team before the show, including technical requirements, hospitality, travel and timings, so nothing is a surprise on the day.
Can you lead a liaison team at a large festival?
Yes. We've led artist liaison teams at Baseline Festival and Electric Avenue.
