Performance: Each band will perform for 15 MINUTES and can do whatever
they like within that time frame
This time limit is STRICT and bands that go over this time limit
will incur a penalty
Sound-check: Due to the large number of bands there is not enough time to
have full sound-checks – bands will have 15 MINUTES to
changeover after each performance (we suggest practicing your
changeovers if you have a lot of equipment)
This changeover time is also strict to ensure the schedule is
adhered to.
All technical riders and stage plots have been sent to the
technical staff at CC MUZE so they will know what to expect.
Backline: 1 x Yamaha C6 grand piano
1 x Guitar Amp (TBA)
1 x Bass Amp (TBA)
1 x Drum Kit + Hardware (TBA)
6 x Music Stands w/lights
Hospitality: Dinner provided by CC Muze between 18:30 – 19:30 in communal artist
area.
There is limited “artist parking” behind the venue where you can load in and out – the

are plenty in the guest parking area a short walk from the front entrance.
Larger instruments can be stored in the backstage area and any valuables can be
stored in the dressing rooms.
