How to brief merch for Getxo Jazz Festival

Dates
(prior editions: first week of July)
Venue
Muelle de Arriluce, Puerto Viejo de Getxo, Bizkaia
Format
Free open-air festival, main stage on the Puerto Viejo plus side tents, with BBK as historical main sponsor

Getxo Jazz Festival is one of the fixtures of the Basque cultural calendar: four evenings of international jazz programming on the Cantabrian coast, a main stage on the Puerto Viejo, an average attendance of 30,000 per edition, and a brand-activation operation that mixes late-night hospitality, side stages with parallel concerts and a Saturday-morning Family Jazz slot. The festival runs in the first week of July at the Muelle de Arriluce, by the mouth of the Nervión river, with free admission and a security operation coordinated by the Getxo Town Hall together with the Ertzaintza and the local municipal police.

For sponsor teams and brand activators the operational challenge is the open-air and night-time nature of the festival: staff apparel that copes with sea breeze, merch that survives a two-hour queue in the afternoon sun, and a hospitality area mounted on pop-up tents in front of the main stage. The typical brief we receive mixes branded polos and technical tees for the sponsor's staff, lanyards and badges for VIP guests, reusable tote bags as a stand giveaway, and a premium gift set for artists and programming delegates. Real timelines for a Basque festival in mid-July are tight: the brief usually lands in May and the material must be on site by the last week of June.

The Madrid production hub handles the entire order and ships by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to a named consignee in Getxo, Bilbao or Donostia — sponsor headquarters, reference hotel, or the Town Hall warehouse on the Muelle de Arriluce. The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number, reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant EU directive article.

Recommended merch mix for sponsors and delegations

Staff and welcome-team apparel

220 GSM branded polos and technical tees in brand colours with two-colour screen print or embroidery, light softshell layers for sea-breeze nights on the main stage, branded caps and canvas aprons for the hospitality stand on the Puerto Viejo.

High-volume giveaways

Organic-cotton tote bags with edition serigraphy and the sponsor's motto, conference-week lanyards with metal clip, 500 ml engraved eco bottles, pocket fans for the late-afternoon queues and cork coasters for the hospitality area — 500 to 5,000 units depending on stand volume.

Lead-capture and prize items

Compact branded power banks, USB hubs for the hospitality stand, foldable wireless chargers for the welcome team, notebook + pen sets with serigraphy for programming delegates and Basque and national music press — 50–150 premium units per edition.

VIP, artist and speaker kits

Hard-cover premium notebooks stamped with the sponsor's seal, embroidered gift sets with the festival anagram, limited-edition pieces signed by the headliners, trilingual packaging (Spanish, Basque, English) and named delivery to dressing room or Bilbao hotel.

Production and delivery into Getxo

The brand operation at Getxo Jazz Festival is usually coordinated between Bilbao and Madrid: the Madrid production hub handles the entire order and delivers by road to a named consignee — sponsor headquarters in Bilbao, reference hotel in Getxo, or the Town Hall warehouse at the Muelle de Arriluce. The standard delivery window is 24–48 hours with prior appointment, since the festival falls in the middle of the July holiday period and the docks have morning and night loading restrictions.

We keep reserved stock at the Madrid hub for the recurring items — T-shirts, tote bags and lanyards with generic serigraphy — which we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days. For pieces with custom embroidery (sponsor anagram, limited-edition number) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For sponsors with special hospitality pieces (gift boxes, numbered sets) we suggest locking the brief 4–5 weeks before the stage build.

The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number, reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant EU directive article. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, on request, a photo of the unloaded material.

Recommended planning timeline

  1. 6–8 weeks before: lock the item list, per-recipient quantities and the decoration method per line.
  2. 4–5 weeks before: approve a physical or production-grade sample from the Madrid hub and validate the sponsor anagram.
  3. 2–3 weeks before: close production, run quality control and apply trilingual labelling.
  4. Event week: confirm delivery window, named consignee and contact at the Muelle de Arriluce.
