What a technical rider actually asks for (and why it matters to you)

The secret to a flawless performance? Clarity.

At Fairy in Boots, we don’t just show up and perform, we work together with you to ensure every detail is perfect. That’s where our technical rider comes in. Think of it as the blueprint for magic: a document that guarantees you, us and every party involved knows exactly what’s needed to make your event unforgettable and our act shine as it should.

Two riders, one goal: Magic

You’ll receive two riders from us, each with a distinct purpose:

1. The Hospitality Rider

This isn’t about diva demands (we promise, no champagne bottles here). It’s about making sure our artists and crew can perform at their absolute best. Maybe it’s some fruit for an acrobat or a quiet space for a singer to warm up. Small details? Absolutely. But they make a big difference in the energy we bring to your event.

2. The Technical Rider

This is where the event nerds thrive (and we love it). Our technical rider outlines everything required for a seamless on-stage performance:

  • Audio and lighting needs: So every note, every cue, and every spotlight hits just right.
  • Space requirements: For installing acrobatic and music gear or setting up aerial rigging safely and securely.
  • Safety protocols: Because spectacle should never come at the cost of security.

Why it matters to you

You might be thinking: “This sounds like a lot of technical jargon. Do I need to understand it all?” The short answer? No. Most of the time, you can simply forward our technical rider to your event’s technical team. They’ll handle the specifics while you focus on the big picture. Or even better: let us take care of booking the technical team and your event will run smoother than butter.

But here’s why it does matter to you:

  • Avoid surprises: No last-minute scramble for missing equipment or space.
  • Save time and stress: Clear requirements mean smoother setup and fewer headaches.
  • Elevate the experience: When the technical details are nailed, the performance transcends expectations.

Every event is unique and so is every rider

No two events are the same, and neither are our technical riders. Whether it’s a corporate gala, a wedding or a festival, we tailor the rider to fit the venue, the act, and your vision.

Let’s Make It Effortless

Our goal? To ensure that the only thing you need to worry about is enjoying the show. With our riders in hand, you can trust that we’ve thought of everything, so you don’t have to.
