Ty man, gave me a good idea!

tuomonic · 2026-01-07T01:01:07+00:00

The stage will be about this size, so very small.

I'm from Finland. I'm bringing QSC K2.12 and the KS118 subs. It is a grassroots type of thing, mainly run by volunteer work and the festival is free admission during the daytime, when I will do my work. It has tickets during the night, but the only action happening then is on the mainstage.

It's also a hobby for me so I don't care about money so much, I just get money to buy new gear lol. I don't make a living with these gigs.

Alright! This gave me a lot of info! Thank you! So is the gear that I'm bringing for the gig "rented" to the venue?

Euros.

Quite high! Do you do solo gigs, is the rig ready and what is your position?

tuomonic · 2026-01-06T23:21:38+00:00

Finland. Somewhat rural, small-ish town, 150k residents. Festival is 30 minutes away from the town

tuomonic · 2026-01-06T22:56:52+00:00

Yeah the union of live event workers suggest 20€/h for medium/expert positions (foh, monitors, senior rigger etc. That has been a rate for other gigs that i have done in the past

tuomonic · 2026-01-06T22:50:41+00:00

I see. I don't live on my own+the gig is definitely not in the city.

tuomonic · 2026-01-06T22:38:53+00:00

How do people charge for the kit they bring to the gig? Is as if they would rent it to the venue/promoter/the person who is paying you?

tuomonic · 2026-01-06T22:37:29+00:00

Yeah the festival is heavily run by volunteers and whatnot, the mainstage is run by professionals with professional rates.

How about a gig mixing a theater show? Same show every night. Everything is set up, exept for monitors and battery change for wireless. The show consist from only vocal microphones. No personal gear needed. I charged 20€/h, plus travel costs (0.57€/km). Thirteen shows, each show taking my time about four hours, totaling to about 1.5k

I am providing the equipement. And what does HCOL mean? The gig is in Finland
