Music festivals live on energy, talent, and branding — but they stand or fall on paperwork. Missing PPL or IPRS licenses can trigger last-minute cancellations, heavy fines, or worse: reputational damage. At Beyond Bash, we specialise in large-scale show production that’s creative and fully compliant. Need to legalise your festival playlist fast? Here’s how our team secures PPL & IPRS clearances within 72 hours — so you can focus on staging unforgettable performances, not chasing approvals.
1.Why These Licenses Matter (and Why Brands Often Miss Them)
When you host any event featuring copyrighted music — from live sets to DJ mixes — you legally need:
✅ PPL (Phonographic Performance Ltd.): covers recorded tracks and DJ music
✅ IPRS (Indian Performing Rights Society): covers underlying lyrics and composition rights
Without them, brands risk:
- Venue shutdowns by local authorities
- Fines and legal notices
- Negative press and social media backlash
In high-profile fests, it’s not optional — it’s risk management.
2.Fast Doesn’t Mean Risky: How Beyond Bash Delivers in 72 Hours
Last-minute doesn’t have to mean last-quality. Beyond Bash:
✅ Maintains direct vendor relationships with PPL & IPRS offices
✅ Prepares standard documentation templates in advance
✅ Offers in-house legal checks to avoid common errors
✅ Deploys dedicated teams to track, submit, and confirm approvals
Result: even for large-scale fests or branded stage nights, we cut approval times from weeks to days.
3.Real-World Use Case: What It Looks Like
Day 1: Brand shares event brief, venue, setlist scope, and expected footfall
Day 2: Beyond Bash drafts applications, liaises directly with PPL/IPRS, and clarifies usage terms
Day 3: Receive digital NOCs / physical letters; integrate license details into event file for authorities
This fast lane keeps your creative and marketing teams focused on lineups and social buzz — not paperwork.
4.More Than Just Paper: Protecting Brand & Talent
PPL/IPRS isn’t a formality. Beyond Bash ensures:
✅ On-site compliance files for surprise inspections
✅ Clear artist agreements so performers know what’s cleared
✅ Venue coordination so management has license proofs
✅ Branded disclaimers on digital streams or social teasers
It protects everyone: the brand, artists, venue partners, and audience.
5.One-Stop: Licensing + Production + Promotion
Why do brands trust Beyond Bash? Because compliance doesn’t sit in a silo. In the same team, we handle:
- Artist booking and curation
- Technical production: staging, sound, live streaming
- Marketing and influencer strategy
- Licensing and legal docs
This integrated approach prevents miscommunication — and saves days otherwise lost between separate vendors.
6.Future-Ready: Beyond PPL & IPRS
Modern fests need more than just music licenses:
✅ Live streaming rights and digital sync clearances
✅ Venue police permissions, fire NOC, and excise approvals
✅ Event insurance covering performers and crowd
Beyond Bash handles the full compliance checklist — so your brand can scale events confidently, from 500-person pop-ups to 10,000+ music nights.
7.Cost Clarity: No Last-Minute Surprises
Beyond Bash pre-calculates license fees based on footfall, venue type, and music usage. This upfront view helps brands plan budgets, pitch to sponsors, and avoid unplanned penalties.
