In music, a rider is a document that outlines the specific technical and logistical requirements for an artists performance. It is typically provided by the artist or their management team and is used to ensure that the artists performance is set up and executed in a way that meets their expectations. A rider can include everything from the type of stage and lighting to the type of dressing room and catering that is provided. Technical riders usually include an input list, which highlights every single stage connection that the engineer is going to be making, and a stage plot, which is a rough block diagram that shows where each band member is going to be placed on the stage). Hospitality riders can include requests for catered meals, snacks, and beverages. Security personnel, locking rooms, and access to a private bathroom and/or shower can also be included in a rider). It is important to note that while riders should be a list of reasonable and essential items, not all terms of riders are set in stone, and there is often some room for negotiation.
