There is other administration involved in performing, specifically around logistics and timing.
Here you will find example day sheets and tour books. These can be made yourself if you are self promoting gigs/performing a one off but they can also be put together by tour managers and booking agents. These documents provide essential details and are invaluable when you have a series of gigs. They detail:
- Venue information including address, contacts, parking and venue facilities, capacity
- Promoter and sound/light technician contact details
- Event schedule including arrival times, sound check times, change over times
- Accommodation details
- Invoicing details
- Finances – flat fee, door deal, 80/20 split etc
- For festivals, they often provide tech riders, detailed load in, stage manager details and rep details (the staff member responsible for you as artists)
