Live performances in Belgium

Is your work being staged? If so, every performance can generate income for you.
From a one-time performance to a full-scale tour: every time your work reaches an audience, it generates royalties.

What's in it for you?
  • You will receive a royalty every time your work is performed
  • Royalties are collected from organizers (theaters, cultural centers, festivals, etc.)
  • You don’t have to track every performance yourself. Register your work and submit your performance dates; we’ll take care of the rest

From booking to payment: how does it work?
  • Your work is programmed and performed
  • The organiser provides the title of the production
  • They pay royalties to Sabam
  • We calculate your share based on the report
  • You will receive your share
How is your income calculated?

That depends on:

  • the number of performances
  • the revenue from the performance or the production’s artistic budget (we apply a percentage to the higher amount)
  • your contribution to the work

The more often your work is performed and the larger the production, the higher your compensation will generally be.
