The range of open air concerts varies from a music fest to a small family gathering.Sometimes the concerts might be free of charges.But a practise of ticketing before admission to the concert arena also prevails.Different types of musical acts are performed at an open air concert including folk, pop, classical, rock, reggae and so forth.Usually an open air concert takes place in a stadium or in a sports complex, in parks or pre-selected concert venues, while the process involves a great sum of activities as well as forecast to make it a success.Before arranging a concert, the promoters should be aware of the following issues that can hinder the smooth operation of the concert.As the first step, point out the motive of the concert.The motive may differ from fund raising or to give a fresh entertainment to the audiences.Mostly it happens that if the concert is for fund raising or any charitable activity, the show turns into a ticketed one.The audience must spare a sum of money to enjoy the show.And if it is for entertainment only, it may not cost a single buck to the people.Moreover, the concert event should be publicised revealing its function to arrest attention of people.This can be done by using posters, leaflets containing the details of the concert (the venue, participants, schedules, costs etc).Finding a suitable location and the climatic conditions of the locality where the concert is slated to be held, matters more than any other issues.It is another reckoning factor since sudden foul weather during the concert may cause a havoc for both the performers and the audiences present there.A potential downpour may mess up the event and the electronic equipments used for the concert as well.Therefore, it is imperative to arrange concerts in summer and winter when people can enjoy the live performance without any natural interruption.A clearly visible stage for the performance should be set up.Instead the audience will fail to get the clear vision of the performance amid the stirring crowd.Besides, the energetic music makes the audience dance before the stage.Therefore, a transitory dancing area is a prerequisite during an open air concert event, and a strongly fenced dancing zone is an excellent idea.Since most of the musical instruments used on a concert run on electricity, the promoters should set up alternative power backings, if the location is beyond the public electricity network.Alternative generators or other power sources should be deputed to avoid any interruption.Loudspeakers and amplifiers are kept in a traditional distinct shape (a towering shape) to produce ample resonance mostly in heavier concert sessions.The promoting agency must try to control the excessive noise out of the loudspeakers which may upset the neighbourhood people.Last but not the least; music selection is an important issue.The music must follow the taste and likeness of the people attending the concert.Music according to different genres can be played on the concert as audience of different tastes will gather at the concert.
