BUILT FROM TOURING, NOT THEORY
A system shaped by the problems that actually happen.
Show Ready Artist was created by Justin Edwards, Tour Manager and Production Manager for KSHMR. For more than 10 years, he has advanced and executed hundreds of shows across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America—including Ultra, Tomorrowland, EDC, AMF, and Parookaville.
The system reflects how management, agents, promoters, production teams, venues, and touring crews actually work together—before doors open and when the pressure is on.
BUILT FOR THE WORKING TEAM
If you are responsible for the show,
you need control of the advance.
Independent artists building their touring operation
Tour managers handling advancing and show-day execution
Production managers locking technical delivery
Artist managers overseeing multiple teams and vendors
Small teams where one person is covering several roles
FAQ
Before you put it to work.
Who is this built for?+
Artists, tour managers, production managers, artist managers, and small touring teams that need one consistent way to advance and execute shows.
Does this replace a contract or technical rider?+
No. Contracts and riders establish the deal. This system turns the confirmed deal into an organized advance and a controlled show-day plan.
Do I need special software?+
No. The system is designed around tools touring teams already use, including Google Calendar, Google Drive, email, and a single Advance Sheet.
Is this only for large tours?+
No. It is especially useful for independent artists and smaller teams where one person may be handling advancing, logistics, production, and settlement.
Will I receive future templates and updates?+
Yes. When new templates, updates, or supporting resources are released for the Advance & Control System, they will be added to your purchase at no additional cost and announced through the private Show Ready Artist Discord server.
