Advancing checklist

A practical checklist to keep advancing tidy — from confirmation to show day. Use it as a quick sanity check before you issue the final info pack.

Contacts & ownership

Tick it off, capture decisions, keep one current plan.

  • One point of contact per stakeholder: promoter, venue/festival, artist team, suppliers
  • Escalation path agreed (who decides what, and when)
  • Radio/comms plan owner confirmed (festival or venue dependent)

Access & site notes

Tick it off, capture decisions, keep one current plan.

  • Load-in route, dock access, parking, and vehicle dimensions confirmed
  • Rigging notes, restrictions and points of contact confirmed (if applicable)
  • Stage dimensions, wing space and storage options confirmed
  • Curfew, soundcheck windows and local constraints clearly documented

Schedule & paperwork

Tick it off, capture decisions, keep one current plan.

  • Running order and set lengths confirmed (even if provisional)
  • Callsheets/day sheets issued with version control
  • Crew list and supplier contacts compiled
  • Hospitality notes and dressing room plan confirmed (as provided)

On-the-day readiness

Tick it off, capture decisions, keep one current plan.

  • Changeover plan agreed (where relevant)
  • Comms check on arrival (channels, call signs, radio discipline)
  • Contingency notes for weather/late arrivals/curfew pressure
  • Someone assigned to track issues and close them out
