music promoter

Books live acts

A music promoter organizes and publicizes live performances, handling logistics like booking venues, hiring artists, and selling tickets.

Promoters take financial risk—if a show sells poorly, they absorb the loss.

The role ranges from local club bookers to major companies staging arena tours: The promoter guaranteed the band $50,000 against ticket sales.
