L.A.N. Workshop: How to Book Shows

Support Your Local Area Network. Start a scene. 

Starting a scene in your hometown can seem a bit tricky, even overwhelming at times. In the end, what starting a scene really boils down to, is booking shows. That’s why we’ve invited some of the country’s finest bookers to shed light on the admirable art of how to book shows.

Panel:
Johan Gijsen from Le Guess Who Festival in Utrecht.
Bas Jansen from Mojo in Delft
Natasja Alers from Grauzone in Amsterdam

Subbacultcha founder Leon Caren will moderate and join the discussion to shed some light on how we do things at Subbacultcha.

With so many factors in play, where to start? How do you find a cool venue, what bands will you book, and how can you go about it? On top of that, how will you cover costs, and how can you promote your endeavors well?

These are exactly the questions that were on our mind when we started Subbacultcha 10 years go. Our strategy was to involve the local bands and their friends; connect them, and build from there. Sounds simple, but it’s never easy. Luckily our panel of some of the finest promoters in the country are kind enough to share their experiences and point out how to do this right.

And then there’s you! There will be plenty of room for all your questions. We’re already thinking of a follow-up advanced course for the future. So join now, and next time, we might actually book some great shows together.

The workshop is free for members. To claim your free spot, please send an email to rsvp[at]subbacultcha[dot]nl with ‘BOOKING’ in the subject line.
