MGMT Booking Agency Profile

Book MGMT for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
MGMT began as musical terrorists who practiced electroclash but swiftly evolved into an interesting, intelligent pop band with psychedelic undertones. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden, two first-year art students at Middletown, Connecticut's Wesleyan University, started MGMT in 2002. Initially going under the name of the Management, the group's live performances largely consisted of background tapes, synthesizers, and prerecorded vocals as Goldwasser and Van Wyngarden interacted with the crowd in a way that hovered somewhere between performance art and traditional punk animosity. By their senior year, the duo had significantly calmed down onstage and started enhancing their live sound with additional musicians. Following graduation, MGMT signed with the modest independent label Cantora Records and put out the electro-rock EP "Time to Pretend" in 2005. Good acclaim (especially for the title single, which would subsequently break the U.K. Top 40) and considerable touring attracted Columbia Records' AnR executive and British producer Steve Lillywhite, who signed the group to a significant long-term deal in 2006. Kevin Barnes started outlining concepts for his side project, Blikk Fang. MGMT's touring obligations kept them busy, and all side projects were briefly put on hold as the band spent the better part of two years on the road, despite Blikk Fang's plans to release an album in 2009. MGMT started working on their second album, "Congratulations," with producer Sonic Boom in 2009. The album was released in the spring of 2010. The band combed through their record collections the next year to compile a new mixtape for the "LateNightTales" series..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking MGMT to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like MGMT in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking MGMT or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
MGMT's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking MGMT for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book MGMT, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing MGMT. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate MGMT booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book MGMT for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final MGMT booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will MGMT charge for an event. An example fee to book MGMT is in the starting range of $150,000-$299,000. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the MGMT agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The MGMT manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book MGMT for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the MGMT agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book MGMT, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the MGMT booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for MGMT, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
