Environment

At first environment may not seem like a big deal when organising a music event, however you need to think about the location of your event and how it may or may not affect your event overall. For example, let's say you're thinking of holding a festival in your local area. You need to think about the health and safety implications of this location and how things are going to be set up. You can't just get power from anywhere, therefore you would need to think about hiring electrical services e.g lighting towers. Another aspect to think about is food and beverage requirements, you will need to choose what food and beverages you will be supplying, what the attendees can bring to your event and where these food and beverage stands are going to be places (health and safety implications also impact this). If you are planning on selling food and beverages at your event, you then must discuss temporary toilets and rubbish bins- both of these are extremely important for your event to be successful. Furthermore, you will need to think about car parking- where it's going to be- who's going to supervising it and how much space will be required. The last important aspect when thinking about the environment is staging and fencing. You need to ensure that a secure stage is fitted with a reasonable amount of space between the performer and the audience, this is mainly for health and safety reasons. Also the security is a major aspect of your event and some form of fences or barricades must be put in place to ensure your attendees feel safe in the environment of your music event.
