Amsterdam based · working worldwide
Live entertainment, booked properly.
Talent buying is a trade, not a directory. Kingdomofwin tells you early what a name really costs, what it needs on stage, and whether it belongs in your room at all — then books it, contracts it and delivers it.

How we help
Six things clients keep asking us for
Every one of these can be bought on its own. Most people start with the first and end up with three.
Roster representation
Artists we represent get one team for routing, press, brand work and the admin — not four people who each think someone else is handling it.
- Career and routing planning
- Brand and sync opportunities
- Full back-office
Technical delivery
Somebody has to own the truck call, the power plan and the changeover. Here it is one named production manager, on site, all day.
- Rider and spec reconciliation
- Supplier tendering
- Advance and day-of management
Content & capture
Multi-camera capture, stills and social cutdowns agreed in the artist contract, so the footage is cleared before anyone points a lens.
- Cleared capture rights
- Same-night social edits
- Archive and delivery
Tour logistics
Buses, freight, flights, hotels and the paperwork that lets people cross a border with instruments. Booked as one plan, not six.
- Ground and air
- Carnets and permits
- Accommodation and per diems
Private commissions
Discreet bookings for private clients: named artists, small rooms, tight security, and a contract that never mentions who you are.
- NDA as standard
- Vetted crew only
- Silent invoicing
Who we represent
A roster built for real rooms
We keep the list short enough to know every act personally. Names we have worked with, not directory entries bought from a database.
DJ & electronic
Festival headliners
Acts that can hold a field at midnight, with the production spec to match.
DJ & electronic
Club circuit & residents
Selectors for rooms between 200 and 2,000 capacity, booked as one-offs or a season.

Tight, rehearsed and set-list flexible — the safe answer when the night has to work.
Music
Emerging artists
Support and second-stage names on the way up, priced before the market catches on.

-

On the night
We are in the building. Changeovers, curfews, guest lists and the awkward conversations are ours, not yours.
Who we are
A small agency that answers its own phone
Kingdomofwin was founded in 2005 by promoters and production managers, which is why our shortlists come with a technical note attached. We have loaded in at four in the morning often enough to know which riders are real and which are a wish list.
The team is intentionally under twenty people. Every client is handled by someone senior, because handing a booking to a junior is how dates get lost.
- Senior handling on every enquiry, no exceptions
- Production and booking under one roof
- Straight answers, including the unwelcome ones

FAQ
Before you brief us
Still unsure? Email [email protected] — we answer every enquiry, including the ones we cannot take.
How quickly will I get a quote?
Availability and an indicative fee normally come back within 48 hours on working days. If an artist's management is slow, we will tell you that rather than leave you waiting.
Do you charge the client or the artist?
Both models exist in this industry. We tell you which one applies to your booking in the first written offer, so the fee you see is the fee you pay.
What is the minimum budget?
There is no fixed floor, but below roughly €5,000 the economics rarely work for a full-service booking. We will say so early rather than waste your time.
Can you work with an act we found ourselves?
Yes. Plenty of clients arrive with a name and want the contracting, advance and production handled. We are happy to be the middle of the job rather than all of it.
What happens if the artist cancels?
Every contract we write carries a cancellation and replacement clause. In practice we start looking for a replacement the hour we hear, and we have never had to open a refund window.
Do you cover events outside Amsterdam?
Most of our work is outside it. We hold the visas, carnets and freight relationships to run dates internationally, and we travel to the shows we book.
Enquiries
Start with the basics
City, date, capacity and a budget range are enough to get real names and real fees back.
A person reads every message. If we are not the right agency for your night, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
