Q. Hi, I am at uni doing a music degree and one of our assignments is to hypothetically plan the V festival. We have been split into different departments to share the work and i have been assigned to artist liaison. I was wondering if there are any good websites to find costs of booking major artists, i have looked at the major booking agencies (William Morriss, CAA, UTA...) but they dont seem to list costs, just which artists they represent. I am finding it quite difficult to find info associated with costs of crew, rigs and visa's for international artists. Any help would be much appreciated.
FTTS. There aren’t really any sites that will give you info on how much artists get paid for major festivals and agents like to keep this info confidential but as a rough guide someone playing a big stage at a festival like V would be getting between £10k bottom of the bill to well over £100k for near the top. Obviously big headliners would be much more and there is quite a lot of variation. Promoters always want to pay as little as possible and artists want as much! Out of this the artist would have to pay for backline, their own crew and any immigration costs. Festival would provide sound and lights and hospitality.
Hope this helps but if you want some more info please feel free to get back in touch.
