ALREADY BOOKED THE POUR HOUSE MUSIC HALL?

We want your show to be a success just like you do, so let’s work together to make sure we have the best night possible. Once you have a confirmed show, we will send you our media list and request a bunch of information from you. We also ask that you send us 10 or more posters (11″ x 17″ only please) for your band at least 30 days before your show. We can hang 5 posters in the venue and will send the rest out with our street team.

Marketing a show is all about repeatedly hitting people over the head with your band. The sooner you send us promo material, the better.

SHOW ADVANCE INFORMATION

Please contact Jac 14 days before your show to confirm final advance information.

LOAD IN

There is a musician’s loading zone located about 30 feet before the venue on the right hand side of the street. Pull into that spot and turn on your flashers. Come inside to get the temporary loading zone pass that needs to hang in your window. This gives you about 30 minutes for loadin.

Loadin is through the front of the building. Enter through the wooden door. There will be two steps up, and a 90 degree left turn before reaching the stage.

PARKING

The city of Raleigh does not allow trailers to park on the street. If you do not have a trailer or a dual axle on your vehicle, park on the street or in one of the decks next to the venue. If you do have a trailer, we will direct you to parking when you arrive. It’s only a few blocks up the street.

We have a dedicated merch area located at the back of the room, which is directly next to the customer entrance/exit. Artists retain 100% of merch sales. If you need us to provide a seller for you, please let us know at least one week in advance of your show. We ask that you pay the seller $12/hr directly for their services.

If you need more merch for your show, they will get it done fast and make sure it’s at the venue when you arrive. https://riotstickers.com
