How we work on it

Inside Live & Touring.

Live is where most Indian performers actually earn. Tour architecture, festival programming, private stages and corporate bookings each have different economics, different risk and different reputational consequences, and they are usually managed by whoever answered the phone.

Frequently asked

Questions about live & touring.

Do you act as a promoter?

No. We advise the artist and structure the terms. Promotion and ticketing stay with promoters and platforms.

How are private events priced?

By audience, location, set length, exclusivity and how much notice there is. The last factor moves price more than most artists realise.

What about payment risk?

Advance percentages, escrow where warranted, and clear cancellation terms. Most disputes in this market are payment disputes.
