Do you only include UK and US artists on your rosters?
We will be happy to consider adding you to our roster no matter where you are based. We currently manage bookings for DJs and live music artists from many different countries.
We started as a DJ booking agency in the late 1990s, but rapidly evolved into a music agent for London and the UK, and then into a global music management agency. Today, we are booking agents for rappers, DJs, bands and vocalists. Our artists represent more than 40 genres of music, from acid house to world, and everything in between.
On our rosters we have internationally known artists and DJs, some of whom have been established for years. Alongside them we have up-and-coming artists who are being spoken about on underground music scenes, or who are just breaking into the mainstream. We like to keep our rosters diverse and we regularly sign and promote new artists.
We also have a talent roster of sports, media and entertainment personalities who are available to hire for personal appearances, media engagements, PR and endorsement campaigns.
We are most definitely not just artists agents for the UK and US. If you are looking for a new international booking agent, contact us.
What is the process for booking a music artist, DJ or personality?
To book an artist, DJ or celebrity call us, email us or fill in a booking enquiry form. You can find the direct contact details for each artist’s booking agent on their MN2S bio page.
In your initial booking enquiry, if you can, tell us about the venue, location, type of event, and your preferred dates.
Once you send an enquiry about booking an artist for an event, one of our agents will contact you. We usually respond within an hour or two, and will definitely be in contact within 24 hours.
If the artist is available for your dates, we will then send you a booking form. Once you complete the form, we can confirm whether the booking is possible. In some instances we may need to speak to the artist first. We will then discuss the details of your booking with you. For example, if you are booking music acts, we will need to discuss the technical requirements.
Once you are happy with the details of the booking, we will issue you with a short contract. The booking is confirmed once we receive a signed copy of the contract and a booking deposit.
The deposit for booking an artist is usually 50% of the total fee. It is payable within 3 working days of the contract being signed.
We can often confirm a booking and finalise the contract on the same day that you make the enquiry.
What is covered in the booking contract?
The DJ, celebrity or musician booking contract is a simple document that sets out the terms of the booking.
It will include details of the performance or appearance, such as: the venue, the date, the time, how long the artist will perform, and how many sets there will be.
It will also include details of the expenses that you will be covering and the fee for the final booking. Expenses will usually include travel expenses, but depending on the location of the event, they may also include accommodation and visa application fees, for example. The terms of payment will be clearly set out in the contract too.
Details of the food and drink that you agree to provide will also be included in what is known as the hospitality rider. This might include full meals, or the artists’ preferred snacks and beverages.
If you are booking music acts or DJs, there will usually be a technical rider in the contract too. This stipulates the technical equipment that you will need to provide.
Finally, the contract will include the terms of cancellation. It sets out the costs involved if you cancel the event, or if the artist is unable to perform for any reason.
