How to prepare your gear for a concert

A clear checklist to avoid issues on show day.

A smooth concert starts with gear that’s ready, tested and easy to move.
Here’s a simple method — and how BandCopilot helps you stay fully organised.

🎸 1. Make a complete inventory

List everything you ACTUALLY use:

• instruments
• cables
• power supplies
• pedals / racks
• stands
• in-ear / interfaces
• power strips
• spares (strings, heads, batteries…)

👉 With BandCopilot:
Create your tech pack and store your full inventory inside your workspace.

🎒 2. Prepare your “emergency kit”

The essentials every band should carry:

• gaffer tape
• jack/XLR adapters
• small flashlight
• screwdrivers
• batteries / chargers

🧳 3. Anticipate transport

• plan enough loading time
• protect fragile gear
• organise the loading order

📝 4. Keep your tech sheet accessible

BandCopilot stores your stage plot and tech rider — clean, updated, and shareable instantly with the venue.
