ADVANCING

OUR SERVICES

Show advancing is the behind-the-scenes planning process that happens between a touring production and a venue before a show arrives. It involves confirming all technical, logistical, and operational details—such as sound, lighting, power, stage size, crew, schedules, and local regulations—so everyone knows exactly what is required on the day. Good advancing prevents surprises, ensures the show can be delivered as designed, and allows the tour and venue teams to work together smoothly to put on a successful performance.

LOGISTICS

In event touring, logistics is the coordination of how all people, equipment, and materials move from one show to the next. It covers trucking routes, load-in and load-out schedules, freight handling, carnets, crew travel, accommodation, and on-site access, ensuring everything arrives in the right place at the right time. Effective touring logistics keeps the production on schedule, minimises downtime, and allows the show to be set up and performed smoothly in every venue.

PROCUREMENT

Procurement is the process of sourcing and securing all the equipment, crew, transport, and services required to deliver a show on the road. This includes contracting audio, lighting, staging, power, special effect, trucking, local labour, and specialist suppliers in each city, often under tight timelines and varying local conditions. Strong touring procurement ensures the show is consistently delivered to the right standard, on budget, and without delays as it moves from venue to venue.
