FAQs
What is a stage backdrop?
A stage backdrop is a large plain or printed piece of material that hangs at the back of a stage to highlight performers or custom messaging. Backdrops are used in a range of different settings including festivals, converts, conferences and more. Made from fire-retardant materials, backdrops brighten up and add depth to plain stage settings helping enhance your stage presence.
How big should a stage backdrop be?
Choosing the right size backdrop for your band or event is dependent on the venue your backdrop will be displayed at.
Using a backdrop that is too small will make it difficult for your audience to see your logo or message. However, a backdrop that is suited to stadiums or festivals will look too big and out of place in a small venue.
While we advise you create a banner that is sized to fit the venues you’ll display your backdrop at, here are some typical size guidelines to follow:
- Small pubs and clubs: 2.4 metres (wide) x 1.8 metres (height)
- Large pubs and small theatres: 3 x 2.4 metres
- Concert halls and smaller festivals: 3.6 x 3 metres
- Large concert halls, stadiums and festivals: 6 x 3.6 metres or 12 x 6 metres

What is the best material for band backdrops?
As bands and events often use the same backdrop for multiple venues, we recommend using 210gsm Polyester over any other materials. Our polyester backdrops are B1 fire rated, machine washable and made with engineered crease recovery making them much easier to use at multiple events.
If you’re looking for a PVC backdrop then feel free to contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
