I. HOSPITALITY

HOTEL & ACCOMMODATION

Hotel/Hostels​: The usual travelling party needs accommodation for ​6 people​ ​(​contact us for the
crew list for your specific show!!!​)​, distributed in ​3 twin rooms​ or whatever combination suits you
best. In each room there should be WC/shower. In at least one room there should be an Internet
connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet/Cable). We’d love for breakfast to be included, as well!

Private​: Should fulfill all above requirements. The promoter provides clean and comfortable
accommodation including a clean shower and towels for ​6 people​.

LOADING
It would be great if you could help us out by having a couple of strong people available to help us load in
all the equipment at arrival and load out after the show/curfew.

PARKING
Please supply a parking space for our van next to the club. This parking space must be available from
arrival until departure, after show and load out. Please arrange for all necessary permits for parking and
driving if necessary.

GUESTLIST / PHOTO PASS

The band and the band’s booking agent must be allowed to have a guest list of ​10 persons​ in total, and a
minimum of ​1 (one)​ place on the accredited photographer list for the event needs to be reserved for us!

MERCHANDISE
Please provide us with a suitable place with lights and tables for our merchandise, where we can sell our
stuff. Unless negotiated prior, ​no commission​ from the sales will be paid to the promoter or any third
party.

TOWELS & WATER

These have a separate section just to stress their importance: when we’re on tour we don’t have many
opportunities to wash the towels that we brought from home, so we would ​LOVE IT​ if you could provide
us with ​at least ​4 large towels​ for use before/during/after the show! Also, please provide us with a
minimum of​ 8 x 0.5l bottles of FLAT water​ on stage and several others (among other refreshments
- fruit juices, coffee, rum&cola, German beers, Belgian beers, Czech beers, local beers, beers etc.) in the
dressing room!

DRESSING ROOM
The promoter will supply one clean, heated, private and comfortable dressing room/backstage area
suitable for a total of at least ​6 people​ for the use of the band crew. We’d appreciate 2 x 220 V power
outlets, one fridge (or plenty of ice), a mirror and a trash can. Running water will be appreciated and so
will toilet and shower facilities. If this is not possible in the dressing room it should be accessible and

available somewhere in proximity to the dressing room. The dressing rooms must be guarded by the
promoter’s crew from artist’s arrival to the artist’s departure.

In case the Hospitality Rider is modified or cannot be fulfilled, please contact us for approval.

Thank you!

II. CATERING

1. ​White Walls consists of the following live members:

● Theo Scrioșteanu - drums
● Șerban-Ionuț Georgescu - bass guitar (​VEGETARIAN, FISH​)
● Alexandru-Eduard Dascălu - guitar (​VEGAN​)
● Eugen Brudaru - vocals
● Alexandru Zglimbea - sound engineer
● George Blasianu - tech/driver (​VEGETARIAN, FISH​)

2. ​As far as food goes, we’re honestly not that picky, except for insisting on you ​respecting our
vegetarian​/​vegan​ dudes! If all you offer them is hot dogs, we can guarantee we’ll all be in a
foul mood.

VERY IMPORTANT - ​Alex, the guitar player, is VEGAN, and Serban, the bass player, and
George, the tech/driver, are pescatarians (vegetarians that eat fish) ​- PLEASE PROVIDE
THEM WITH APPROPRIATE FOOD!

Again, because this is important to us:

1 x VEGAN
2 x VEGETARIAN + FISH/EGG/DAIRY
3 x omnivores
Thanks!

You can take us to a decent restaurant or provide us with a nice homemade meal/catering that
includes vegetarian/vegan and/or fish options (​PLEASE respect our non-meat-eating
buddies​) or buy-out for ​6 people​. In case of buy-out, please provide us with a minimum of € ​
12​ per person in local currency to be handed to the band at least 4 hours before stage time. If
there is going to be buy-out we would love for you to provide us with directions and maps to
restaurants where the entourage can find good vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

3.​ Keep the food fresh and healthy! We love fruit, salads, vegetables, juices, fresh cheese, yogurt.
We also love spicy food and we appreciate ethnic cuisine. Surprise us!

4. On stage​, please provide us with ​AT LEAST 3​ (three) 0,5 l bottles of ​FLAT​ mineral water
each​. Can’t stress this enough, no sparkling water, please! There will be no burping during our
show! Off-stage, we enjoy natural fruit juices, milk (not at the same time!), soy milk etc.

5. ​After shows, we like to indulge in mild drinking, and we especially LOVE great beers! Belgian,
