Concerts are fun and exciting times for the band and the crowds. The size of the venue and type will determine the systems that need to be set up. How it is set up and the type of backline equipment can determine the difference between a successful concert and a bust. The systems are sometimes provided by the venues and sometimes by the bands. Neither can be expected to have everything needed.
The equipment that is set up in front of the musicians is called the frontline. This usually includes monitors and PA speakers to help broadcast. All of the other systems included are usually backline systems. They include the instruments, amp speakers, and various implements. The quality and type depend on both the band and the venue where they are playing. When being booked, the band manager should discuss what the venue has as part of the contract process.
The systems are extremely important and matter greatly to ensure good sound quality. Bands have shown up for concerts only to find that the venue had no equipment at all and was expecting the band to provide everything. Without the proper power, amps, and other systems, the concert may have to be canceled.
Many bands will have most of the equipment they need. Even smaller groups will have amps and some speakers to be able to play small venues. However, the cost of the systems can be very high for larger venues. The smaller amps won't do the job in this case. The crowd will end up not being able to hear the band and the concert will be a bust.
Big concert halls usually have permanent systems. They may even have used instruments, such as drum sets, available for use. Since a band can't be expected to haul different equipment for different size venues, the bigger venues usually invest in a nice setup. If they do not have what is needed, some will rent the rest but this has to be done prior to the concert date.
Smaller bands that are just getting started often need to rent what they need. This can save on the expense of buying the expensive systems up front and paying to transport them along with the band. Well established bands often have two or three buses, one of which contains all the systems they need. For those on a budget, having the venue rent specific speakers and systems is typical in a contract. The venue manager may already know what size is needed.
Sound checks are critical before each concert. The last band to play usually sets up first. They'll finish their sound check and slide the instruments and amps towards the back. Going in reverse order, the rest of the groups will do their checks and push their equipment back. This gets every band set up with the systems in order. As each band is done playing, their systems are quickly pulled off stage and the next set is pushed forward to make for a fast change between bands.
No traveling band can have all the equipment needed for every type of venue. Renting the systems they do not have is something that can be worked out in the contract during the booking process. Larger venues or those that have groups play all the time, often have their own permanent setup so incoming bands will have minimal needs when they get there.
