Heyo, I’ve gone down a rabbit hole recently reading about bands’ tour riders. I gotta know what’s on the Wednesday rider. Anything fun? Hope you’re doing well <3
It’s funny because we loved to talk about what we would put on our rider before we were given one but when it came the day to actually make one we went with pretty straightforward/boring shit
For those who don’t know: a rider is a list of items (food/alcohol/necessities) you give to the venue to have for you when you arrive there.
Our rider on our last run was something like:
-a few Larabars
-Casamigos or some other type of Tequila (only if were in the Americas usually cause tequila in Europe is not very good in our experience), and a bottle of wine (Xandy requests a local natural wine and sometimes we get something extremely delicious if the venue people are into natural wines and know what to get)
-a pint of blueberries
-peanut m&ms or a bar of dark chocolate
-a box of mixed greens (we each just shove a few handfuls in our mouths if we get a chance because usually we don’t get enough greens during the day)
I think that’s pretty much it…. sometimes we get oranges and they sometimes provide chips and salsa or something like that. Nothing that interesting. Xandy and I have both worked at music venues so we don’t want to over complicate it for the people that work there etc etc
