If artists are on tour and would like the opportunity to play Las Vegas, FiggZilla has an open door. They are always looking for one out-of-state band to be included on the bill.


FiggZilla is willing to book a date solely on the artist. For one, it allows artists to try and expand their fan base in one of the largest entertainment cities in the world. Second, it allows the other Las Vegas bands to network themselves shows out-of-state. They are also willing to trade shows with bands they manage.


Most of the venues here in Las Vegas just pay a percentage of the door, so the payments are based on the crowd the locals bring, and if artists have a Las Vegas draw. For any guarantee over $50, the deal will be based on incentives. Set times and slots are determined once the bands are finalized, and will be emailed to selected artists.


Each show will be negotiated differently based on the needs of the artist/band, and what venue the show is finalized at. If artists do not bring people to the show or just don’t have a crowd established yet, will not get anything more than gas money since they are not contributing to the shows revenue! FiggZilla offers places for merchandise tables and the majority of venues do not take percentages off sales. If they do its only usually 10%.


Please note: Make sure there is at least a month notice before requesting a show, so proper promotions are done and full details can be worked. That will also make sure that artists have enough time to try and gain some interest for an out of state show.
