The Sanpo Yoshi Philosophy
Sanpo yoshi (三方よし) is a 400-year-old Japanese business philosophy from the Ōmi merchants meaning good for the seller, good for the buyer, good for society. It's the principle every booking we make is measured against.
Artists earn fair, market-informed fees and keep long-term relationships with the people booking them.
Promoters, venues and event organisers see a transparent fee breakdown with no hidden margin.
A thriving live music ecosystem — where artists, promoters, audiences and communities all share in the success.
Every quote, shown in the open.
Our sliding-scale calculator scores your event across seven weighted factors — venue capacity, expected attendance, event type, billing position, promoter inclusions, market and tour routing — and produces a fair fee range with the maths on show. Travel, accommodation, production and commission are always itemised, never buried.
Stories from an industry that needed a better model.
Sanpo Yoshi was created after seeing firsthand how opaque fees, rigid contracts and disconnection between artists and promoters hurt everyone. These four real-world cases explain why transparency matters.
Created by the people who've lived it.
Sanpo Yoshi was created by Gig Big, an Australian event management company with more than a decade of experience producing festivals, concerts and community events across regional New South Wales. We built this because we believe the best live music experiences happen when artists, promoters and agencies work as genuine partners.
"It's about creating an industry built on trust, transparency and shared success — sanpo yoshi: good for the seller, good for the buyer, good for society."
