SXSW 2018 Stage Manager Handbook 9 ARTIST ADMIN Bands receive a link that allows them to complete or edit the following information: • Artist bio • Input list that includes how many inputs the band needs onstage • Band member and crew names • What compensation package they choose • Their performance agreement If they do not have the login information for their Artist Admin page have them email advancement@sxsw.com. Artist admin login information is tied to the person who submitted the artist application. Please make sure they have completed their Artist Info page. SXSW Staff needs this information. You will be able to tell if artists have completed their admin page by looking at their record in the Advancement Tool. CONFIRM COMPENSATION Determine their compensation package. Artists must choose between a registration package or payment as compensation for their performance Option A- Registration • Each performing band member receives an artist wristband. Only performing artists get artist wristbands, their crew does not receive wristbands. • ALL International bands automatically receive the registration package. • Wristbands are given out at Registration at the Austin Convention Center (ACC) in Exhibit Hall 5. • Each band member must be present with an ID to pick up their wristband. They cannot pick up wristbands for other members. • Band member names are entered into the members/crew section of their Artist Admin Page. If they have any trouble accessing this page they need to email advancement@sxsw.com. • Only listed band members get wristbands. This is why it is important that they fill out their artist admin page completely. • The crew members do not receive wristbands but will be given access to work their band's showcase. • Crew members can purchase two additional Music Festival Wristbands at a discounted rate of $80 and then a third at the price of $189. This is for crew members only, and the crew members must be listed as crew on the Artist Admin. These cannot be ordered in advance and are on a first come, first served basis. Managers, labels, booking agents, etc are not eligible for these discounted crew wristbands. Option B- Payment • Solo artists are paid $100. Bands are paid $250. • They only receive ONE payment no matter how many times they play. • Payment is distributed via direct deposit to the artist's bank account within 48 hours of the end of their performance. • Artists who select this option are sent an email with the request for banking information. They must complete this request by 3/9/2018 in order to be paid electronically on site. Otherwise a check will be mailed to them post-event. • International bands CANNOT choose this option. If you see an international band has selected "payment" please contact Sarah (spivey@sxsw.com) ACC ARTIST CHECK-IN HOURS All SXSW Artists must check in at the Austin Convention Center in Exhibit Hall 5. This is where they will get their loading/unloading passes, wristbands (if they take Option A), and let the SXSW staff know that they are in town.
