My band is starting our application run for festivals/shows, and would like to expand into Europe for a short run. I am looking for tips for if your band has ever been successful or if you've been on programming committees. We plan on paying our own expense/rentals from Canada to Europe, but what else can we say to make ourselves more appealing.

Just the same what was some mid size/small festivals/ promoters that will realistically look at a band from Canada.

Thanks!

Hello! Been looking to rent a passenger van to tour with that ideally has a secure cargo hold (metal around the windows and what not) and is on the cheaper side… or a van that we can rent and tow a trailer behind… I’ve looked into the usual suspects like GreenVans and Bandago, as well as more commercial rental vehicles (they don’t let you tow or configure bench seats) and wanted to ask if there was another company I should do research into?
