Rider (from the English rider ) - this is a list of conditions and requirements imposed by the artist, musician or creative team to the organizers of performances. The full fulfillment of all the conditions of the rider by the organizer side is a necessary condition for organizing the performance of an artist or musician. Otherwise, the artist has the full right to refuse to perform without returning the prepayment and compensation for the losses of the organizer.

Domestic rider
Domestic rider - a document (group of documents) containing a list of requirements for everyday life (including food, security and method of transportation) presented by the performing artist to the organizers of the event.
The art manager of the artist checks the performance of a household rider.
Tech Rider
A technical rider is a document (a group of documents) containing a list of technical equipment (sound, lighting, stage) necessary for the performance of a pop star or artist working in the pop genre.
In some cases, when organizing large concerts, music festivals or competitions, a technical rider also contains information about the specialists who are needed to service the equipment. The dance ensemble includes in the rider the minimum dimensions of the scene; rock groups may stipulate the possibility of using various pyrotechnic means ; if you need a piano , then the type and standard of tuning, and the like.
The organizers of the concerts ensure the performance of the technical rider.
Usage
In most cases, household riders use touring artists for a long time, and technical beginners even.
Due to disagreements on the rider, the submission is canceled infrequently: in the interests of both the contractor and the host, in order for the submission to take place. Vagaries can be an element that attracts fans and the subject of discussion of the " yellow press " - but more often they have a completely utilitarian meaning and are explained by some inconvenience that arose on previous shows [1] .
The Van Halen group is interesting in this light, somewhere in the middle of the rider demanding a plate of M & M's without brown sweets, otherwise the performance will not take place. Buying a few packs and sorting them is a simple job, but if they didn’t complete it, the performers began to suspect that they didn’t read the rider at all: the group performed even in non-residential towns and hosted an unprecedented show; for this, she drove nine equipment trucks, while the rest cost a maximum of three, so there were special requirements for strength and current consumption [2] . According to David Lee Roth , this requirement appeared when a poorly fixed beam almost crushed one of the staff. Another time, he saw brown candies in a plate and began to test the stage for strength in the only way he could - he began to smash everything that came to hand. Indeed, the scene soon failed, the damage amounted to $ 85 thousand [3] [4] .
A collector artist may ask a rider to help his hobby - for example, Michael Buble , a hockey fan, asks for a puck with the emblem of a local club.
