Comprehensive Advancing, Artist Liaison, Stage Management, and Tour Management Services.

About Us

Artist Needs was founded in 1999 by Matt Cheshire on a simple belief: when artists are looked after properly, the whole show is better for it.

More than 25 years later, that belief still drives everything we do, from intimate club nights to arena tours.

Whatever an artist needs, we make it happen. It’s in our name.

What Clients And Staff Say

“It's all in the name! After 15 years of working in the events industry, if I need stage management, artist tec and dressing room riders sorted, artist liaison, comms, ground and air transfers or anything else that "Artists Need" I always use the professional services and skilled staff of the Artist Needs Group.”

— Jon (Tour Manager)

“I've known Matt Cheshire and his brother Rob Cheshire for a couple of years now, and Artist Needs Ltd is one of the most hard working and customer service focussed companies that I've ever come across. They will always go the extra mile to provide a solution for you, whether it's a private charter flight to several different countries/cities, or a schedule of events and service menu to keep things running smoothly at a major festival. They do great work, and work very hard, so I'm always happy to recommend Artist Needs Ltd to anyone and everyone!”

— Jim (Agent)

“As Artist Needs are the market-leader for Artist Liaison services we are really excited to be working with them on our festivals year-on-year. They provide an outstanding service with impeccable professionalism, elegance and class. They perfectly delivered all of our artist related operations onsite and also took care of the pre-event artist advancing and contracting. We would highly recommend them to any festival or event organiser that would seriously like to keep their artists happy, a small price to pay for such a good effort and service.”

— Andrew (Festival Organiser)

“Professional, friendly, efficient, attentive & high class service offered at all times we have dealt with the Needs Group, highly recommended.”

— Barry (Event Agency & Promoter)

“I cannot rave enough about the sheer quality of this company. Having the pleasure to work for this company, the whole ethos of inclusion and excellence sets this company apart from any other. The ability to use the teams strengths to pull off a smooth running show is an art yet to be perfected by many other organisations, yet is seamless and effortless with this one.”

— Jords (Artist Management)

“Nothing too much trouble for these guys....always a trouble free experience...if you want to arrive in style in a Jet, chopper or rocket ship then hook up with ARTISTS NEEDS.”

— Jason (Promoter)

“Brilliant team of staff, loved every second of working with them during festival season this summer. They are all extremely professional at what they do and taught me so much. I had the best experience with them and would love to have many more in the future!”

— Ria (Artist Liaison Team)
