How to Use This Template
This template creates a professional technical rider to send to venues and event organisers ahead of your booking. It lists your power requirements (total amperage, number of circuits needed, distance from stage to power source), space requirements (minimum performance area, height clearance for lighting), your complete equipment list with weights and dimensions, setup time needed, sound check schedule, and any special requirements (smoke machine ventilation, rigging points, dedicated circuits away from catering equipment).
Fill in the technical specs for your standard setup. If you have different configurations for different events (intimate wedding vs. festival stage), create a version for each. Include a simple stage plot diagram showing speaker placement, lighting positions, DJ booth, and power drop locations. Note cable runs so the venue can plan around trip hazards.
A professional tech rider prevents the "there's one 13-amp socket behind the bar and it's already running the glass washer" disaster. Send it to the venue as soon as the booking is confirmed, giving them time to arrange what you need. It also makes you look significantly more professional than the DJ who turns up and wings it.
