Organizing a rock concert on your own is not easy. However, nothing is impossible! You can give the joy of attending a concert to all fans of a famous band, get positive emotions from communicating with musicians, so try to take it up.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing to do before organizing a rock concert is to ask the administrator of your favorite band for a technical rider. Carefully study the requirements for the room, think about whether there is a site in your city with a suitable level of sound quality. Find out the musicians' desired royalty. It is better to do all this in advance, at least a few months before the concert, in order to have time to discuss the intricacies of the event with all interested parties and to prevent possible problems. Check if the musicians use their own sound equipment, or if you will have to look for a room designed specifically for holding rock concerts with sufficient quality equipment in use.
Step 2
When you already know the technical requirements of the musicians, it's time to take care of finding a suitable venue for the concert. If the group is popular enough and you are sure that a large number of people would like to come to the concert, find a large venue designed specifically for such events. There is one in almost every major city. Go to negotiations with the person in charge, specify what their requirements are for you as a concert organizer, what is the rent for the time you need.
Step 3
If the conditions proposed by the representatives of the large concert venue suit you, start joint preparations for holding a rock concert. If the requirements are too strict, or you are not sure that there will be many people wishing to attend the concert, try contacting the art director of a small club. As a rule, the conditions for holding concerts in clubs are softer and more beneficial for organizers.
Step 4
When you're behind discussing the terms with the group administrator and the property owners, it's time to move on to promoting your event. Prepare a sufficient number of posters, post them on message boards. Run a newsletter for fans of this group on the Internet, create a meeting on social networks and invite as many people as possible so that as many people as possible know about the plans for the rock concert. If you plan to gather a large number of people, buy out several billboards for at least a month, your investment will definitely pay off.
