Crew, not staff
Four people full-time and two hundred freelancers who come back four times a year. Rates are on this page because a rate you have to ask for is usually a bad one.

Crew for December
Rates are per night and paid within seven days of the last shuttle. They are on this page because a rate you have to ask for is usually a rate somebody is ashamed of.
Monitor engineer
GH₵1,400 a night
Freelance · four nights a year
Wedges and in-ears across two stages with a full changeover between every act. You will get a proper line check and you will be finished by four.
Stagehands
GH₵450 a shift
Freelance · build, show, strike
Truss, decks and backline. No experience needed for the build shift, and everyone who does three builds gets put on the show list.
Barrier stewards
GH₵380 a night
Freelance · trained on site
Front-of-stage and gate. Training is paid, on the Thursday before, and the welfare lead runs it rather than an agency.
Lighting programmer
GH₵1,800 a night
Freelance · plus two prep days
Plot the four stages in advance and busk the sunrise set. If you have never busked a sunrise set, this is a good one to start on.
No CV. Tell us what you have worked on, who can vouch for you, and which nights you are free.

Three things crews notice
Paid in seven days
From the last shuttle, every time, including training shifts. We have never missed one and we publish it here so you can hold us to it.
Fed and watered
Two hot meals a shift from the yard, not a lunchbox, and free drinking water everywhere on site for crew and audience alike.
Trained on the rig
Anyone on the build list can spend a paid day on a desk or a lighting console between nights. Three of our four core crew started as stagehands.
