FAQs
Q. What's the Format?
A. We will develop a day and night programme to suit you.
We recommend that to generate the festival experience that the festival begin at around 2pm / 3pm and run on into the evening.
We will work with clients to develop a live music line-up that best fits the culture and profile of their organisation. Typically, we'd put together a line-up of 5 bands that provide 'a bit of something for everyone'.
The time of last orders at the bar will be dependent on licence requirements and client specifications.
Q. Why Tribute Bands?
A. We chose a line-up of the UK's Tribute Bands to headline our festivals thus enabling festivalgoers to enjoy a top performance of songs they know and love, whilst maintaining sensible and affordable pricing.
Your Music Festival events are a great opportunity for tribute acts to play to large and energetic audiences, giving them every reason to give it their all and put in a performance to remember.
We have worked with our top bands on many occasions and can be confident that the performances will be of a high quality.
Q. Where would it be held?
A. Your Music Festival can take place on the client's own property; a grassy area is strongly recommended.
Alternatively, if no suitable site is available we can identify and secure a piece of public or private land appropriate for hosting such an event.
We will take advice from the client as to whereabouts this would be located in the UK.
Q. When would it be held?
A. Traditionally, music festivals work best in the spring and summer months. However because the main performance arena of our Fake Festivals are undercover we can operate in the autumn and winter months too and can make extra provisions for the potential of adverse weather conditions.
Q. How can I reduce the cost?
A. If you have the funds and your team really deserves it, you may wish to hold the festival as a free entry to all on your guest list.
However, we are also aware that for some organisations they may wish to receive help with costs. Here are some ways that we can help you recoup all or some of your outlay costs:
Q. Ticket Sales
A. We have a fully ecommerce able web system and ticket booking office with 0800 free phone number that can be set-up for ticket purchases from your employees, or perhaps guests of employees.
We can talk you through the options that may help you recoup costs in this way.
Q. Supplier Sponsorship
A. We can produce and provide you with bespoke sponsorship packs for you to take to your suppliers and associates who may wish to help you with costs.
If appropriate, we can write to your suppliers on your behalf and give them the opportunity to come forward in a non-pressurised manner.
Q. Can I share with another organisation?
A. If you like the idea of having a festival, though don't need the 1,000 places, you could share the cost with one or more other companies or organisations. We could work with the partners to make this happen.
Q. Could we hold the festival indoor or in a different way?
A. The short answer is 'yes'; we can work with you to hold a celebration in any format you choose, provided it is safe to do so.
However, in order to protect the brand identity of Your Music Festival we would need to maintain certain characteristics, such as the large marquee as the performance arena and inclusion of tribute bands in the line-up.
We can provide you with a more bespoke service as event organisers and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you also.
