Festivals & concerts
The crowd in the back feels front-row.
A festival lives or dies on whether people can see the stage. From the soundboard forward it's electric — past that, it's a sea of phones held up by people guessing what they're missing. A 17-foot mobile LED screen, fed live from the stage, gives every row the close-up: the singer's face, the solo, the moment the whole field came for. One screen carries the show, the set times, and the sponsor reels — and it's delivered, set up, and run by our technician for you.
Live music is having its biggest run in history, and the audience showing up is a screen-native one — people who came to feel the show and to capture it. Whether you're programming a downtown street fest in Davenport, a riverfront concert in Bettendorf, or a stage in Moline or Rock Island, the screen is what turns a distant performance into a shared one. Stage-side IMAG magnifies the close-ups so the energy from the front rolls all the way to the back fence.
And because the same 17-foot screen handles your graphics, it earns its footprint twice over. Between sets it rotates set schedules, safety notices, and sponsor logos in front of a captive crowd — so the screen that runs the show is also the most-watched piece of signage on the grounds.
The audience is here, and they're watching the screen.
fans at live events in a single year
Live music had its biggest year ever in 2024 — Live Nation alone drew 151 million fans to nearly 55,000 events worldwide. People want to be in the room, and the screen is how the whole room sees the show.
music festivals tracked worldwide in 2024
The festival calendar is dense and the United States leads it — a crowded field where a stage that's easy to see and easy to share is what gets remembered.
more likely Gen Z attends festivals vs. Millennials
Gen Z now dominates the festival scene — a video-first audience that prefers the big screen and shares the moment widely, turning your show into content long after the lights go down.
Stage-side IMAG that pulls the whole crowd in
Image magnification — IMAG — is the difference between a band you can hear and a band you can see. We position the 17-foot screen beside or behind the stage, feed it live from your video source, and suddenly the person standing at the back fence gets the same close-up as the front row: the guitarist's hands, the vocalist's expression, the moment the crowd erupts. For a lot of your audience, that screen is the only clear view of the act they came for — and the magnified close-ups make the whole field feel the show as one room instead of a thousand separate vantage points.
The screen is daylight-readable and HD at a tight pixel pitch, so it holds up in full afternoon sun and stays crisp whether you're ten feet away or a hundred. As dusk falls and the headliner takes the stage, it only gets better.
One screen for the show, the schedule, and the sponsors
Between sets, the screen keeps working. Rotate set times and stage maps so nobody misses the act they came for. Run safety and weather notices when you need the crowd's attention. And drop in your sponsor loop — logos, spots, and branded overlays — in front of a captive audience that's already looking at the stage. The screen that runs your show doubles as the most-watched signage on the grounds, which is real, built-in visibility for the partners funding your event.
Afterward, the footage you captured for IMAG becomes post-event content — exactly the kind of video your audience is primed to share. With a screen-native crowd actively filming and posting, a striking big-screen production turns into reach that outlives the weekend.
Built for Quad Cities festivals & concerts
The screen is trailer-mounted, so setup is fast and it fits most lots, parks, and lined streets across the Quad Cities — Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, and Rock Island — plus Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. It runs off an onboard generator where there's no power to tap, or off venue power when it's available, so a riverfront stage or a remote field is no obstacle.
Every rental includes delivery, setup, an on-site technician, and teardown — so your stage manager runs the show and our tech runs the screen. Need more? We can design your content, add hours for a late headliner, cover multi-day runs, or travel beyond the metro. Tell us what your event needs and we'll build the quote around it.
How it comes together.
Tell us the date & the site
Send us your event date, the venue or lot, and how you want to use the screen — IMAG, sponsor loops, schedules, or all three. We'll confirm fit, power, and timing, then build your quote around it through the form. No pricing guesswork.
We deliver & run it
Our crew delivers the trailer-mounted screen, sets it up stage-side, and powers it from the onboard generator or your venue feed. An on-site technician stays through the event to run the live feed, graphics, and sponsor reels so your team can focus on the show.
You run the best show in town
Every row sees the stage, the sponsors get real visibility, and the crowd captures it all. When the last act wraps, we handle teardown and haul-out — delivery, setup, tech, and teardown are all included.
Festivals & concerts: common questions
What is IMAG, and do I need extra gear for it?
IMAG is image magnification — the live, magnified video of your stage shown on the big screen so the whole crowd gets a front-row view. You provide the video source or camera feed; our on-site technician handles getting it onto the screen cleanly. If you're not sure what your stage setup can output, tell us when you reach out and we'll walk through it.
Can the screen run our sponsor logos and set schedules between acts?
Yes. The same screen plays your live feed during sets and switches to sponsor loops, set times, stage maps, safety notices, or graphics in between. It runs the show and doubles as your most-watched signage. We can also design that content for you as an add-on.
Will it be visible in daylight for an afternoon festival?
Yes. The screen is high-brightness and daylight-readable, built to hold up in direct afternoon sun, and it's HD at a tight pixel pitch so it stays crisp up close and from the back of the crowd. It only looks better as the sun goes down and your headliner takes the stage.
What if our stage is in a park or lot with no power?
Not a problem. The screen is trailer-mounted with an onboard generator, so it runs where there's no power to tap, and it can use venue power when that's available. Fast setup means it fits most lots, parks, and lined streets across the Quad Cities and the surrounding area.
