I know how bands can have a good show at a festival - and how they can mess up their chances by not being prepared for that all -important music festival slot.It is very important to your musical career that your music festival appearances happen with no hitches, dramas or technical problems. Audiences go to music festivals to see and hear great bands. If they happen to catch you, playing a great set and full of confidence, they are more likely to become fans of you and your music.
