Hiring
festival crew.
Stagehands, crewchiefs and forklift drivers for build and strike. At night too, in the mud too.
Festival work is a trade of its own. No loading dock but a meadow. No fixed hours but a deadline that does not move: the gates open when they open.
Hands 4 Events has supplied crew for festival build and strike since 2007, with Rock Werchter and Graspop as regular sites. That terrain we know inside out, just like the arenas where we are at home: read more on hiring crew in Antwerp.
Smaller festivals and one-off productions just as well. Same crew, same approach.
What we do
BUILD AND STRIKE.
FROM TRUCK TO TRUCK.
Load-in and load-out
Unloading and loading trucks, stage parts, backline, decor. Day and night, in shifts.
Crewchiefs on the meadow
Leadership on site, one point of contact per crew, a direct line to the production management.
Forklifts and MEWPs
Certified forklift and MEWP operators who are used to terrain work.
The reality
FESTIVAL WORK
IS DIFFERENT.
Weather is a factor
Rain, mud and heat change the schedule. Our crew keeps going.
Night work is standard
The strike begins when the last note sounds.
Terrain asks more
A meadow asks different gear and different shoes than a loading dock. Which shoes belong on terrain work is covered in our guide to safety shoes (the part about S7 and terrain work).
Approach
HOW IT WORKS.
Request
Pass on date, location and numbers. One phone call is enough.
Confirmation
You get a dedicated contact person and a crew that fits the schedule.
Crew on the meadow
