How to Meet Your Favourite Band or Singer
Find out which record label the band or singer is on. Many
record labels have promotional teams known as Street Teams. If you
join one of these and help out with things like handing out fliers
before concerts, they may give you a backstage pass.
Go to as many concerts as you can, and if possible, arrive
early. Sometimes you will see the musicians going in and out of
the venue and will be able to get to know them like that. Smaller
bands will often recognize fans who have turned up regularly. Also,
try talking to the roadies (usually big guys carrying equipment
around). If you are friendly, they may be able to get you in.
Absolutely do not appear as though you are stalking anyone.
The touring personnel are much friendlier to sane individuals.
Get involved in writing reviews of concerts and records,
perhaps for a website or local newspaper. This should enable you to
get on the guest list, or better still, a press pass which allows
you more access to the band.
If you can't get backstage, try to find out which bars or clubs
the band visit before or after their shows. Then go along to them,
and say hello!
