Introduction

Technical riders are documents that explain the technical needs of a live act — sound, stage, lighting, and hospitality.

They are not "rockstar demands". They're a communication tool.

A good rider...

• Prevents misunderstandings
• Speeds up setup and soundcheck
• Protects both artists and venues

A bad rider...

• Is vague, outdated, or missing
• Creates stress, improvisation, and frustration
• Can even ruin a show

This site exists to help everyone do better — whether you're on tour, behind the console, or under the stage.
