FAQ's
What, Where, When, Who, How much...
The suitability of DMC depends on the event format, venue, audience size and the type of performance being requested.
Some artist productions are designed for large concert stages, while selected engagements may be possible in more intimate private or corporate settings.
The organiser should provide the approximate number of guests, venue type and event concept so the appropriate DMC format can be discussed.
For a DMC event inquiry, contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com
A request for DMC can be submitted for a brand launch, product presentation, company anniversary or other commercial event.
Acceptance depends on the artist’s policy, the brand involved, the event concept, location and contractual conditions.
If the performance is connected with a brand, tell BnMusic whether the artist is being requested only to perform or whether additional brand-related participation is expected.
For DMC booking inquiries, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
An invitation-only event can be proposed for DMC, subject to artist approval.
Private guest lists, luxury venues, family celebrations, executive events and closed corporate functions can have different requirements from public concerts.

Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com for a DMC private-event inquiry.
An outdoor performance can be requested for DMC, but outdoor events require additional planning.
Weather protection, stage covering, electrical safety, temperature, wind conditions and backup arrangements may all affect whether the proposed production is acceptable.
The final requirements depend on the current DMC show configuration and technical specifications.
For an outdoor DMC event, send the venue and production information to info@bnmusic-artists.com
The proposed performance time is an important part of a DMC booking.
An organiser may request an early-evening appearance, headline performance, late-night show or another programme slot, but the timing needs to work with the artist’s travel, preparation and production schedule.
Provide both the preferred performance time and the overall event schedule when submitting the request.
For DMC scheduling inquiries, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A multi-set performance can be requested, but it should not be assumed to be part of the standard DMC engagement.
Two shorter sets, separate appearances or a return performance later in the evening may have different production, schedule and commercial implications from one continuous show.
If more than one appearance is required, specify the number of sets and preferred duration of each one.
Send the proposed format to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Yes, an organiser can request DMC as a surprise performer, subject to availability and approval.
Surprise appearances require additional coordination because guest communication, backstage access, production schedules and artist arrival may need to remain confidential.
The organiser should tell BnMusic at the beginning of the inquiry if the artist’s participation must remain secret.
For a confidential DMC request, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Confidentiality can be requested for private, corporate and high-profile events.
If the organiser requires the proposed DMC appearance, venue, client identity or event details to remain confidential, this should be stated at the beginning of the booking process.
Specific confidentiality or non-disclosure requirements may need to be documented separately.
For a confidential DMC inquiry, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A sponsored event can be proposed for DMC, but the sponsor relationship should be disclosed before the booking is confirmed.
The artist may need to approve how their name, image and performance are associated with the sponsor or brand.
Do not assume that booking the performance automatically gives the sponsor advertising or endorsement rights.
Provide sponsor and event information to BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com
Promotional use of DMC‘s name, image, photograph or logo should follow the conditions approved for the booking.
A confirmed performance does not automatically permit unrestricted advertising, merchandising or commercial use of the artist’s image.
Event posters, digital campaigns, sponsor materials and press announcements may need to follow approved assets or wording.
For promotional questions connected with a DMC booking, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Filming, livestreaming or professionally recording a DMC performance should be requested separately.
A live booking does not automatically include broadcast, streaming, television, commercial filming or unrestricted recording rights.
The organiser should explain where the content will appear, whether the stream is public or private and whether recorded material will remain online after the event.
Include these requirements in the initial request to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Audience photography and mobile-phone recording policies can vary by artist and event.
A private booking should not automatically be interpreted as permission for unrestricted professional or commercial recording.
If the client wants a specific no-phone policy, unrestricted guest photography or controlled social-media coverage, this should be discussed before the event.
For current DMC event conditions, contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A press interview, media appearance or promotional interview can be requested, but it is separate from the performance itself.
Approval can depend on the publication, interview format, duration, subject matter and the artist’s schedule.
Do not announce an interview with DMC until it has been specifically approved.
Send media requests together with the booking details to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Attendance at a dinner, cocktail reception, VIP area or client gathering should be requested separately from the performance.
The contracted show does not automatically include additional social attendance before or after the stage appearance.
If this is important to the client, specify the requested duration and purpose when submitting the DMC proposal.
Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Soundcheck requirements depend on the confirmed DMC performance format and current production needs.
Some performances require a full soundcheck, while others may use a line check or another production procedure.
The event schedule should therefore reserve enough preparation time until the actual requirements have been confirmed.
For production planning for DMC, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Venue access time depends on production setup, soundcheck, backstage preparation, security and the confirmed show format.
The organiser should not schedule artist arrival based only on the visible performance time.
Load-in and technical preparation may begin considerably earlier than the show itself.
For the current DMC event schedule and production requirements, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Yes, DMC can be proposed for a multi-artist event, subject to approval and technical feasibility.
Events with several performers require detailed planning of performance order, soundchecks, stage changes, shared equipment and artist arrival times.
Do not assume that every artist can use exactly the same technical setup.
Send the complete event programme and proposed artist line-up to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A late-night DMC performance can be requested, but the exact show time must be included in the proposal.
Late performances can affect travel schedules, venue restrictions, crew working hours and other event logistics.
For New Year’s Eve, afterparties and other events with performances after midnight, specify both the calendar date and the exact requested stage time.
For a late-night DMC inquiry, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
An unusual venue can be proposed for DMC, but feasibility must be evaluated before the engagement is confirmed.
Yachts, islands, historic buildings, rooftops, remote resorts and other non-standard venues can involve restrictions relating to stage space, access, power, sound, transport, weather and emergency planning.
Provide photographs, venue specifications and access information when possible.
For an unusual-venue DMC request, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A change of date should be communicated immediately.
Availability and commercial terms agreed for one date do not automatically transfer to another date, and the artist may already have other commitments.
If the booking has reached the contract stage, any rescheduling conditions will also depend on the agreement.
Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com as soon as the proposed DMC event date changes.
A preliminary DMC inquiry can be made while a venue is still being selected, but accurate venue information is normally needed before production and logistics can be finalised.
At minimum, provide the city, country, expected audience size and type of venue being considered.
Once the venue is confirmed, its technical and access details can be added to the request.
For an early-stage DMC inquiry, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A short performance window can be proposed, but it does not necessarily correspond to a format offered by DMC.
The organiser should clearly state whether the request is for a short appearance, selected songs, a compact show or another specific format.
The available option must be confirmed by the artist’s representatives.
Send the required stage time to info@bnmusic-artists.com when requesting DMC.
Yes. An organiser can propose DMC as the headline act or main entertainment moment of the evening.
If the performance is intended to be the event’s principal attraction, provide the expected show time, audience size, venue setup and what happens immediately before and after the performance.
This information helps with stage timing, production planning and overall event coordination.
For a headline DMC request, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
