Space required for band
How much space does a band need? Do they require a raised stage?
Bands do not usually need a raised stage as such - this is up to you - but they will require a performance area generally of about 4m x 5m (13ft x 16ft). That said, many bands can squeeze into a smaller space if necessary, especially when this can make the difference to whether they get the booking or not! Where the event is being held in a marquee or similar, the band must have a level hard floor, as grass or matting are not safe surfaces.
