3 Unique Locations For Mobile Stage Hire Set-Up

With Christmas beckoning, the holiday spirit calls for some fun and celebration. One of the ways you can do so is by planning a performance for events, or even a small get-together using a mobile stage hire company. Essentially you will have access to a mobile stage, with the size varying according to the nature of the act.

Stages are not old, they have been around since the 5th century AD, and with time, they now are available to anyone who has the money for event stage hire and audiovisual equipment hire. Additionally, you have to budget for the following:

●       Projector Hire

●       Video Wall Hire

●       PA Hire

The next pertinent question and the topic of this blog are to decide where this mobile stage for events needs to drop anchor for the maximum fun and enjoyment of the attendees. The stages of today are very light, scalable to different sizes, highly portable, and you will find some that are semi-automated as well.

So the question of inconveniencing the portable stage hire company does not arise. Since they will be charging you a sizeable amount of money for the gig, you should take full advantage of their services.

Some probable places to hold a performance are the beach, indoors at a hall or auditorium, on a grassy lawn, tight squeeze venues that are very popular with the younger generation, or the older generation’s trademark hangout- the ubiquitous car park.

3 Best Locations For A Mobile Stage Performance

·        The Beach:

If you live in beautiful Queensland, with its genial weather and wonderful people, being tempted into holding a beach program using a mobile stage hire company is not impossible. Some real-time challenges have to be overcome by the portable stage guys.

Everybody loves the beach, and with cans of beer, you can shuffle and sway to the performance as the music takes hold of you. One problem posed to the stage crew is the sand, which they solve by towing the stage in place so that the tide does not displace it.

Speaking of tides, there have to be people keeping an eye on the equipment so it does not end up at the bottom of the sea. Being trailer mounted, the stage rental people do not require level surfaces to set the stage on. Additionally, there will be barriers for crowd control that will double as protection for the stage, with safety barriers blocking any access to the stage from the back.

If you wish to hold the event after dark, there are provisions for roof and lighting, besides speakers. After dark beach programs are especially popular with the younger generation, as crown barriers can make the occasion a tight squeeze one too! With the alcohol flowing, anything can happen.

·        On Grass Events:

This is the classic Woodstock mode, and it has many advantages for the audience. For starters, you will have the sun shining warmly on you while you loll with beer on a grassy knoll as your favourite band plays your best-loved songs. Tickets to an outdoor event are cheaper when compared to those in auditoriums and stadiums.

If you are a food lover at an outdoor festival, get ready to wolf down hot dogs, hamburgers, pretzels, and a whole lot more when the food trucks arrive. Besides, there are tents with free merchandise as well as beer stalls for you on the grass surface event. As you listen to the music or the performance, you will get to meet new people, without being hedged in between two strangers, in crampy stadium seats.

During the Christmas season, the weather will be pleasant and you will see lots of on-grass events, some of which are very good indeed. When you scout out a mobile stage hire company for your event, you will learn that they offer trailer or hydraulic mounted stages, because of the possibility of soggy ground.

With trailer-mounted stages, the contact between the stage and the ground is the bare minimum. With the hydraulic hire, only the anchors, the wheels, and stairwell bottoms touch the ground while all the lighting and speakers are high above.

•       Car Parks:

When you have a very popular and famous band playing, you can bet your bottom dollar that the crowds will swell as the hour approaches. Lest you face overcrowding issues leading to a cancellation of the event, go for car park shows with the aid of a mobile stage for hire.

Some notable stage hires companies have also worked at events in prestigious locations where they excelled technically. With COVID-19 running rampant, and wave upon wave of new mutant variations unleashed every few months, you do not need to get out of the relative safety of your car while watching the event.

This means that a car park festival is ideal for the family as well as for couples or gangs of boys and girls. The main challenge that mobile stage hire companies have to face is where to position the stage for maximum visibility.

Some top companies can, with the help of managers, give you suggestions for access to the performer, changing rooms for the troupe or band, the lighting for maximum effect, as well as sound control and crowd control that will work best for you. If needed, a site inspection of the car park will be done and a report with recommendations given so that you can work upon those to pull off a successful event.

With mobility being the synonym for humans today, it is but natural that the need for a permanent stage has declined over time. That is not to say that there are no permanent stages. It is a reflection of the eclectic nature of things, including new genres of music that are making mobile stage hire a viable option for those who wish to play on a small or a medium-size budget to start with, after which they can progress onto bigger stages.
