A festival advance is a tour advance multiplied: every act needs specs sent, details collected, and a schedule that holds. Advance with Me gives festival production teams one advance per artist, built from the same template, tracked on one board, with each artist rep contributing through their own link.
When the lineup hits double digits, spreadsheets and inbox threads stop scaling. Advance with Me keeps every act's advance separate, consistent, and visible in one place.
Build your festival's advance template once: stage specs, backline, arrival logistics, hospitality, credentials, payment docs. Spin up a structured advance for every act on the lineup and track status across the whole bill instead of digging through threads.
Send each tour manager or artist rep an invite link scoped to exactly what you need from them. They contribute their rider, stage plot, arrival details, and guest list without seeing the rest of your event.
Riders and tech packs arrive as PDFs no matter what you ask for. Upload them and AI-assisted autopopulate maps the details into the advance structure, with your team reviewing every field.
Build day-level schedules for load-ins, changeovers, and set times, color-code schedule items your way, and export clean PDFs when the production office needs paper.
Give every artist a guest allotment with cutoffs and approvals. Reps request against their own allotment, requests carry who asked for them, and the box office works from a live list instead of a reconciled spreadsheet.
Guest pass request links are public and do not require an account, so artist camps can submit names without onboarding friction.
Stage managers and crew get view-only access scoped to their team, with passwordless sign-in, on the web or the AWM Go iPhone app. AWM Go keeps working offline, which matters when 40,000 phones are fighting for the same tower.
Build labor calls for each day from the advance data you already collected, and export them as PDFs for the steward and the staffing company.
See how a multi-act event runs in the platform, from artist intake to show-day documents.
Turn your advance packet into a reusable template so every act gets the same structure.
Invite artist reps into their advances, watch status across the bill, and walk into the weekend with the answers written down.
"Advance With Me is an extremely well thought out and navigable site built by folks who have all toured and really know what it takes to advance a show well. They’ve covered all the bases for every type of show advance, but also left ways to customize exactly what you want to see. At 47, even a dinosaur like me can fly around and learn it."
