Concert Insurance: Things to Consider When Having Your Own Concert



Planning your own concert comes with a great sense of responsibility. It needs to be thought through right from the concert idea to the timing to other minute as well as specific details. Buying concert insurance is also one important criteria of having your own concert. This comes handy when you are promoting concerts, as you will be able to mention how safe your concert is, and what you have covered. It is obvious you will need to deal with an experienced insurance provider or company when it comes to buying this insurance.

Before we go ahead with understanding how to choose insurance for your concert, let's first understand the perks of having your concert insured
  • It is important to cover the general liabilities that may bother you during the concert. For instance, you travelled with your instrument, and it got damaged in transit. Your instrument got stolen from the premises, and now you need to rent another instrument immediately. On the day of the show, your instrument is not getting tuned, and needs to be replaced immediately. All these liabilities related to the instrument should be covered by the insurance. Accidental damage to the concert stage, audio equipment, and even the seating arrangement should be taken care of by the general insurance
  • You have planned a huge event with various sponsors backing it up. What if you had to cancel the event due to a storm or, some other calamity? Imagine the amount of loss that will pile up on you! It is unlikely you will be able to cover it up with your own money. Insurance at such a time will take care of event cancellation loss, and will ensure you are paid for that. Now, that can be such a relief to you. It can even cover losses due to delay and relocation, which is quite natural for certain locations and some of the events
  • What if the artist who is part of the concert does not appear for it? They are either not well or, they have some last minute commitments that cannot be avoided. In both circumstances, wherein there is a valid reason, and no clause that will make them pay, you may need to cover the loss on your own. This can be huge, and requires insurance to make sure you are covered
  • The public attending your concert should be safe, which is why you need public liability covered in concert insurance. In case something happens to the crowd attending your concert, the insurance will take care of it
Cost of Insurance
Budget of concert insurance is very important. When it comes to general liability, the cost is calculated based on the number of attendees and the kind of music being played in the concert. The cost will be determined based on these two factors. For the event cancellation, you may want to determine the budget of the event, and based on that you will be able to determine the cost of insurance. Similarly, artist noshow would be dependent on the amount you are being charged and the attendees coming in for the particular artist.

Cost of insurance and the provider of concert insurance is again a well-thought and completely planned process. It is not just about buying insurance, but also about investing in trust.
