Top Events for Concert Rentals

Giggster has concert locations in Chicago, Los Angeles, and more cities for all performance events. Rent our Amazing Fully Lit White Cyc Studio for your band rehearsal, club night, or a music-filled after-party. Here are some of the concert venues on our website and suggestions for the best events for each space.

• Clubs – Album Release Parties. Most musicians debut new music or release albums in a private club. It's the best setting to listen to new releases and get an instant reaction from the crowd. Clubs are also sound settings for industry week or freestyle nights, where artists can demo their new work or showcase their lyrical skills.

• Restaurants – Product Launches. A restaurant with patio seating is the best backdrop for a food-related product launch. Station a jazz band on the street outside to attract passersby while playing their best numbers or have them provide background acoustics during dinner.

• Theaters – Film Screenings. Since most theaters have excellent audio and video facilities, they are the best film screening backdrops. Many have a waiting area where you can plan a jazz or blues performance before or after the viewing.

• Rooftop Lounge – Graduation Parties. Celebrate your graduation or engagement at a rooftop lounge. Hire a DJ to play rock, house, and the latest hits.

• Concert Halls – Charity Concerts. Host a charity event with music performances in a concert hall. The venue has space for many guests and a stage where you can deliver speeches or display auction items.

Concert Location Must-Haves

There's a venue for all genres of music, including rock, opera, and blues. Giggster can help you rent your preferred space, whether a large area or an accessible downtown bar with street parking. Here are the must-have features to help you identify a perfect concert venue.

Is the sound system high-quality? Rent a space with high-quality microphones, speakers, and mixers. Your guests will enjoy listening to the performers from the back of the room.

Does the venue have good acoustics? Ask the host if the venue is soundproofed; plan a soundcheck to confirm that the seating arrangement and other room features don't affect the flow of sound. You don't want the music to flow into the street, leaving your guests straining to hear the artists better.

Will you serve food? You don't have to serve food and drinks, but it depends on the event specifics. Perhaps offer artists complimentary drinks and have a cash bar for guests attending show nights.

Pros and Cons of Events at Concert Rentals

While concert halls are great settings for most events, you should know the merits and demerits of such performance locations to make the best decision.

Advantages

• Most concert venues on the Giggster app have superior audio systems with video recording available. You can get a stage worthy of the best live shows in the world.

• Concert locations usually have more than average standing and seating capacity, which can be used for other aspects of the event. For example, concert locations can host weddings, proms, celebrations, and more.

• When you host an event space like this, you can use the existing license and permit without spending extra money on getting one separately.

Disadvantages

• Concert venues are usually more expensive for events than other locations like homes, rooftops, or warehouses. You may be charged even more if the space offers premium audio facilities.

• Some performance spaces have time and noise restrictions. If planning an outdoor concert, you may have to wind up early to avoid penalties.

• Many concert locations may restrict vendors, so you may have to hire their in-house bar, technicians, and food.

Planning Your Concert Event

Giggster has performance locations in New York and San Francisco that rival even intimate shows held by the Rolling Stones. If you're hosting performances at live music summer festivals with artists like Zach Bryan and Sir Elton John, you'll need all the help you can get. Professional planners can help with prepping, organizing, and managing the event while you mingle with guests.

Select the Concert Venue – The Giggster app has a listings database for the best acoustically forward backdrops. You can rent an indoor-outdoor area with the bar and VIP seats located inside on the second floor while everyone enjoys the music from down and outside.

Book Performers – Ensure the artists are reserved well in advance for your event so you can prepare for an impressive lineup. Get everyone to sign a contract for the necessary dates, and you won't have a mess on the final day.

Plan Technical Rehearsals – Your stage will be well-managed only if you pay attention to the technical requirements (sound, lights, entries, rigging) and rehearsal sessions. Organizing and planning a good musical journey will make your concert the event of the season.

Prepare for Merchandise Sale – Many organizers forget that merchandise sales can earn extra money. Most fans of the artists will want to buy a keepsake (usually merchandise) to remember the experience.

How to Save Money on a Concert Rental

Giggster can help you find the best places for music events within your budget. You'll spend less reserving a venue in the week versus the weekend. Also, complimentary snacks or drinks will cost less than serving a full menu. It's possible to host private events while saving money in a budget-friendly, intimate space and still have a fabulous time.

Do you need a brand new sound system?

Whether you're hosting a hip-hop, folk, or jazz session with big-name artists or a mixed bag of emerging acts in a relaxed atmosphere, you can rent good-quality audio equipment. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on purchasing new equipment, save that money and use it to host a full bar with drinks and delicious finger foods for guests.

Can you reserve your music venue early?

Book early to secure a bar or other venue for a lower cost. Since most locations get booked quickly, you can save big time when you reserve weeks or months prior. You can even end up with a downtown hotspot with street parking at a fraction of what you would pay for a last-minute booking.

Can you limit the number of hours?

Instead of hosting an all-day concert, you can offer live music for a few hours. This helps you save your hard-earned dollars, especially since the Giggster app offers affordable concert locations.
