Performance Rules for Artists

If you're performing at String Taste, here's everything you need to know before the big day.

  1. Send your rider. Please send us your rider or technical requirements at least a week before the event, so we know what you'll need onstage (instruments, amps, mics, lighting, etc.).
  2. Confirm your slot. Propose your event by emailing hello@stringtaste.com with the date and expected number of guests. Once confirmed, your use of the space is free — see our guide for artists for the full details.
  3. Arrival time. Please arrive at least 2 hours before your set. The exact time depends on the kind of event, so confirm it with us in advance.
  4. Soundcheck. We always recommend a soundcheck — ideally about an hour before the performance.
  5. Volume. String Taste is also a working café, so we ask performers to keep the volume moderate. Drummers especially should bring a setup that allows for lower-volume playing.
  6. Equipment. We can lend amps, cables, and even guitars, plus photo and LED lighting — just let us know what you need when you confirm your event.
  7. Finish time. Performances need to end 30 minutes before our closing time — check our current opening hours before planning your set length.
  8. Breakdown. Please pack up and clear the space immediately after finishing — we need the remaining time to do our own closing routine.
  9. At the bar. Every performer gets one drink on the house.
  10. Promotion. Don't forget — you're responsible for creating and promoting your event on social media.
  11. Tickets & pricing. You're free to charge for your event however you like — ticket sales online, at the door, donations, or any combination. We don't limit this in any way, as long as the financial side is legal under Polish law. We can't handle ticket payments ourselves, but we can provide wristbands for the audience.
