PHOTOGRAPHERS

For Ribs & Blues accredited press photographers, with a photo pass provided by us, a few intact rules apply when photographing the artists on the stages:
 
-The first 3 songs may be photographed by (accredited & press-related) photographers in the "barrier line" only. Stick to this! Always follow the rules of the organization in this.
 
- Take your photos without flash. In a dark environment you blind the artist and it is also very disturbing for the audience.
 
- Don't squeeze through the crowd.
   Our audience is king. So, give them the space they need.
 
- Don't get in the way of fellow photographers.

BANDS SIGN UP

BANDS THAT WANT TO PERFORM
We get a lot of well-intended tips and sympathetic information from bands that want to perform, but we usually cannot take action on this.
Our bookers have a very extensive network, visit countless events and know very well what we want to program. We like to stay alert ourselves in the search for suitable acts and that works to our satisfaction to date. No hard feelings!
