The Difference: Why we're NOT your average music fest...

We work with artists all the time. They’re our friends and our own favorite musicians. And we’ve heard all the horror stories about other music festivals. Hidden costs... ironclad contracts... exclusive rights... empty promises... no exposure... Sound familiar? The IMF (International Music Festival) is organized by Anthem Entertainment, a nationwide event production, marketing and consulting agency. Recently profiled in Entrepreneur magazine and dozens of other sports, entertainment and business publications, Anthem ensures a level of professionalism and a standard of credibility that other festivals just can't match. Need more evidence?

* Charity
You and your fans support more than just your music. Anthem has a longstanding relationship with CHOSA, a prominent South African orphanage and children's charity. The IMF has established a formal partnership for the current and future festivals where proceeds will directly benefit CHOSA and its mission of improving the lives of hundreds of children. Each musician’s music helps raise both funds and awareness through the IMF for this extremely important cause.

* NO entry fee
We don't want your money... we want your music! The IMF will never require a fee to enter your act in the festival. This isn’t a search for the biggest check, it’s a search for the biggest talent that can get the crowd on their feet. If a penny is going to be spent on the IMF it is going to be toward ticket sales.

* REVENUE opportunity
Most music festivals require you to sell the tickets while they collect all the cash. Not the IMF. Once the 25th ticket is sold for or by your act, the IMF will split all subsequent ticket sales. It’s that easy, and that honest. And let’s face it... if you can’t get 25 people to come hear you play, you probably shouldn’t be performing!

* NO hidden dangers
You don’t need to sign any ironclad contract in blood. You don’t need your lawyer, your mom, your dad or your dog to fret over the fine print. We’re not looking to control your music, your act, or your art until the twelfth of never. Your only responsibility to the IMF is to fully participate in all the scheduled events and travel engagements. Of course, we always hope to forge long-lasting relationships with our musicians, ones that will last long after the series is over. But only after you agree that you’ve had a positive experience working with us, unlike any music festival you’ve participated in before!

* TRUSTWORTHY REPUTATION
We do events for a living. The IMF's parent company, Anthem Entertainment, is a nationally recognized event production, marketing and consulting agency with a vast array of international industry connections.

The company has experience, having organized over thousands of music events of all sizes and over 13,000 events in total... from bar shows to stadium concerts. Anthem has a wide array of business ventures, requiring a level of detail oriented professionalism and ethical business sense that sets the company apart from the pack.

There is a decade long and international reputation to uphold. Anthem and the IMF are unlike anywhere else. The other guys can't say the same.
