More Than M&Ms: Why Your Rider is a Legal Document
We’ve all heard the “no brown M&Ms” stories, but a Technical Rider is a life-safety document. Your agency is obligated to ensure the venue provides a stage that won’t collapse, grounded electricity that won’t electrocute you, and security that keeps the crowd at a safe distance.

The Bottom Line: Your agent doesn’t just book a stage; they dictate the terms of your environment.
