Festivals & Fairs

Book Bands & Headliners for Festivals, Fairs and Concerts

City concert series, county fairs, street festivals and brewery shows all need a lineup that draws a crowd and fits a budget. We act as your talent buyer: building a lineup, submitting offers to agencies and negotiating fees, riders and production.

What we handle for your festival

  • Lineup building across multiple stages and days
  • Formal offers to artist agencies, including radius clauses
  • Rider review and production advancing
  • Routing artists who are already touring the West Coast

Planning tips

Route around tours

Artists already playing Sacramento or the Bay Area that week will often take a nearby date for less. Flexible dates are leverage.

Read the radius clause

Many artists are restricted from playing within a set distance and time of other shows. We check this before you announce.

Festivals & Fairs: common questions

Can you buy talent for a city or county event?+

Yes. We work with public agencies and can structure contracts and insurance to meet municipal requirements.

Tell us who you want. We'll handle the negotiating.

Free quotes, honest advice on what's realistic, and an advocate on your side of the contract.
