College Fest Artist Booking
What to share in your enquiry
A clear brief allows management to review your request without unnecessary delays. When preparing your college festival enquiry, share these factual event details:
- Festival dates and alternate options: State your confirmed festival dates along with alternate dates. Artists may have other commitments, so alternate dates help. Flexibility gives management alternate windows to consider.
- City and campus venue layout: Identify the institution, the city, and whether the performance will take place in an indoor campus auditorium, an open-air amphitheatre, or an outdoor ground.
- Venue capacity and expected footfall: Share the maximum ground or auditorium capacity and the anticipated student and guest attendance.
- Entry format: Specify whether attendance is restricted to enrolled students with campus identity cards, open to inter-college participants, or arranged via invitations or passes.
- Sponsorship involvement: Note whether brand partners, title sponsors, or broadcast platforms are associated with the festival stage.
- Production scope: Indicate whether your institution is arranging staging, sound reinforcement, lighting rigs, and backline locally (artist-only coordination), or whether you require turnkey technical production on campus.
- Organising committee details: Name the college, university department, or registered student cultural committee submitting the enquiry, along with official institutional website links or festival social media handles.

College fest booking questions
- Can a student committee submit an artist-only enquiry?
- Yes. If your college or university has already arranged on-campus sound, lighting, and stage production, you can submit an enquiry for artist coordination only.
- Why should a college fest include alternate event dates?
- Artists may have other commitments, so alternate dates help. Offering alternate festival days gives management flexibility to check surrounding dates.
- Can we enquire for campus festivals that have free entry for students?
- Yes. Submit the enquiry and clarify whether admission is restricted by student identification cards or open to external guests.
- Do we need to share festival sponsor details upfront?
- Sharing title and stage sponsor information helps management check for brand conflicts.
- How early should a college festival submit its artist brief?
- Submit the brief as early as possible before your festival dates so the relevant management has time to review it.
- Does Shakti Event coordinate college fest enquiries outside metro cities?
- Yes. Enquiries are coordinated for universities and institutes across state capitals and regional educational hubs throughout India.
