One team, offer sheet to encore
Burbunclub matches artists to audiences and then makes the show happen. Availability and fees come back fast, contracts are ours to chase, and on the day our production team is in the building — not on the phone.
What we do
Booking is where it starts. Most clients hand us the date and the budget and take back a finished night.
Direct access to headliners, support acts and niche specialists. We handle offers, counter-offers, holds and contracts, and we tell you early when a name is out of reach.
Stage, sound, light, video and crew, specified against the rider rather than a catalogue. One production manager owns the build from truck call to strike.
Day-to-day representation for artists on our roster: routing, fee strategy, press, and the unglamorous admin that keeps a career moving.
Matching artists to brands without either side losing credibility. We negotiate usage, term and territory, and we say no to the ones that would not work.
Visas, carnets, freight, flights, ground and hotels. The paperwork that stops a tour is booked before it can.
Weddings, anniversaries, launches and after-parties, run with the same contracts and the same discretion as a festival main stage.
Who we represent
We keep the list short enough to know every act personally. Names we have worked with, not directory entries bought from a database.
Acts that can hold a field at midnight, with the production spec to match.
Selectors for rooms between 200 and 2,000 capacity, booked as one-offs or a season.
Tight, rehearsed and set-list flexible — the safe answer when the night has to work.
Support and second-stage names on the way up, priced before the market catches on.
Acts who read a business audience: no long intros, no awkward silences, clean language.
Soloists, quartets and small ensembles for ceremonies, dinners and brand films.
Case notes
Not a portfolio. Three briefs that went sideways and what we did about them.
Brand · product launch
Brief arrived with the venue booked and no talent. We had a shortlist in two days, a signed headliner in nine, and the artist approvals cleared for the campaign film.
Venue · residency
Built a residency from scratch for a 600-capacity room: twelve names, a price curve that protected the weak weeks, and a marketing calendar the venue could run alone.
Festival · rescue
Headliner cancelled on the Thursday. A replacement of comparable weight was on stage on the Saturday, and the refund window was never opened.
How it runs
You will know at every stage what is agreed, what is pending and what it costs.
We ask what the night has to achieve, not just who you want. Half the time the answer changes the shortlist entirely.
Names with fees, availability and an honest note on each — including the ones we would not book for this room and why.
Deal memo out within 24 hours of agreement. Riders reconciled against the venue before signature, not after.
Advance, load-in, show, strike, settlement. One named contact throughout, reachable on the day.
Our side of it
The people behind Burbunclub have promoted, toured and produced. Between them, more than 1,568 shows and enough cancelled headliners to have a plan for it rather than a panic.
We work from Lisbon and travel to the shows. An agency that never leaves the office learns nothing about the rooms it is selling.

Good to know
Still unsure? Email [email protected] — we answer every enquiry, including the ones we cannot take.
Because a published fee is not a real fee, a rider is not a suggestion, and a cancellation at short notice needs somebody with relationships. If none of that worries you, book direct.
Room size, audience, budget and what the night has to achieve. We deliberately include one name you have not thought of — that is usually the one that gets booked.
We go again, at no cost. Getting the first shortlist wrong is our problem, not yours.
Yes, and we price them honestly. Booking someone on the way up before the market notices is one of the few real bargains left in this business.
A named production manager from truck call to strike, plus the booker who sold you the show. Not a runner with a clipboard.
Written schedule at contract stage, funds held where the deal requires it, and a full settlement sent within the same week as the show.
Contact
The more you can give us now — capacity, audience, budget range — the faster the shortlist comes back.
We answer every enquiry within one working day. If your date is inside two weeks, write “URGENT” in the message and we will call instead.
