There are several reasons to organise an indoor music concert. From small school recitals to worldwide tours, concerts take place in a variety of venues. Most concerts are designed to make or raise money for the promoter. Others are used to raise awareness for charities and other organisations. Large awards ceremonies for music or film and television are often on the same scale as some of these larger concerts.

Concert Venues
Although there are many places that can hold large numbers of people, organising an indoor concert will be made easier if the venue is suited to its use

Concert Technical Equipment
Bands and artistes who are performing at events, often have specific requirements for lighting, sound and audio visual equiment. There will also often be reasons within the venue to choose specific types and designs of equipment

Concert Infrastructure
As well as the technical equiment, there will be certain elements of infrastructure that are required as part of the venue design, or as required by the particular artiste, set designer, production manager or tour manager

Bands and Riders
Working with bands can be very time consuming and complicated. It is important to realise that many of the larger bands will require very specific items within their dressing room or on stage. Working with contracts can also be complicated – but it is important to understand what you are signing for

Event Staff
There will be many people involved in running an event of this nature – some will work in the view of the public (front of house) and others will work backstage

Customers
It is important to look after customers and to ensure that they enjoy the entire experience. There are some simple elements of organising indoor concerts that can be used to keep the audience happy, and to increase your revenue

Concert Layout
Although there are no specific or legal requirements for the layout of your indoor concert – some elements will combine to produce a successful event.
