Where this can take you
Most roadies work freelance. You may be able to move from working with smaller bands and venues in the UK to high profile, large scale, multi national tours. With experience, you could become a road or tour manager, or move into band and events management or music promotion. You could also transfer your technical skills to work behind the scenes in theatre, film or television, or venue health and safety.
