Concert and event

Are you going to organize a concert or an event?

When you hold a concert or an event with musical works that TONO manages, you must have permission and pay a fee to TONO. TONO’s conditions for concerts and events can be found further down on this page. It is important that you read the terms carefully. These mainly consist of:

Permission before the event

You must submit an application for permission to perform music managed by TONO prior to the event, preferably well in advance so that you have time to secure the necessary advance permission. You do this by filling out the form below.

Remuneration

The remuneration shall normally be calculated according to TONO’s tariff for concerts and events, which you will find below. The rates in the tariff are based on the fact that all music played at the event is managed by TONO. If music that is not managed by TONO is also performed during the event, the remuneration must be reduced.

Reporting after the event

No later than 10 days after the event, you must complete and return the form you received when you received the permit (also available for download below). You must enter the number of listeners, gross ticket revenue and a repertoire/playlist.

If you need any guidance, please contact us at marked@tono.no.

Concerts

Compensation is calculated by gross box office takings per concert, paid following invoice from TONO. In order for music creators to be rightly compensated, the entire program must be sent to TONO as soon as possible after the concert is held, and with the following information:

Organizer’s name and address.
Concert venue and date.
Title of the musical work, name of composer/arranger/lyricist for each piece performed.

If there is no program, instead use TONO’s music program form. The form must be signed by the concert organizer.
