07听On The Night Once you've got everything planned there are听a couple of things you can do to make sure the night runs smoothly.
"One way of making sure it isn't a washout is to avoid doing it on the same night as someone who's promoting the same kind of thing."

Call everybody who's involved on the day of the event and make sure they know when they are due to be at the venue (i.e. your brej who's doing the security) and ensure you've got a sound-engineer.
A lot of first timers forget, but, remember to have a cash float!
You'll need plenty of change for when people don't have the right money.
Get all the artists to arrive early for the soundcheck and make sure they all know what time they're performing.
Make yourself totally available to them - running the night itself is an all day of a job and you'll probably need to be around from the minute the doors open to answer questions and deal with any hiccups that there may be.
