Looking for concert ideas to make planning your next musical performance or festival a breeze? We have you covered! Concerts are amazing, but at the same time, it is not so easy to organize such an event. The concert ideas below will help if you want to harness their inspiration and transform it into a celebration.

The first step to planning a successful concert is to include the proper décor to ensure that your performance is in keeping with the entertaining concept. And don’t forget about booking the perfect venue! As the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, we at Peerspace know all about that. Rely on our platform to connect you to professional concert venues as well as less expected spots that will make it easy to bring your concert event to life. Let’s get to our list of the most inspiring concert ideas and the most inspired concert venue suggestions!

1. Take your audience back in time with a retro-themed concert

Take your audience on a journey across time. Host your concert with the 70s, 80s, or 90s theme to make them more memorable. Ask your audience to dress in the style of the period. Bring back memories, turn on the music, and create an atmosphere that will have them talking for weeks.

Speaking of atmosphere, retro concert ideas are easy to put together with the right venue. And in this case, we must recommend this incredible retro-themed event venue lounge in San Francisco, CA. It boasts several retro-themed rooms, an amazing sound system, a video-mapped dance floor(!), and plenty of space for the performers and audience to mix and mingle. It harkens back to San Francisco’s legendary 60s era a la the Fillmore but with modern perks to make it a must-book space nowadays.

2. Class is in session with this concert idea!

Most of us began a life-long love of music during our schooldays. Many people also attended their first concert when they were in middle school or high school. So why not take advantage of this connection people have with music and student days by hosting a school-themed concert?

As an example, you can book this newly renovated performance and rehearsal space in Seattle, WA, and host your school-themed concert with little to no decorating on your part. After all, it’s a refurbed auditorium at University Heights that would remind just about anyone of their high school auditorium. Plus, the red curtains, raised stage, and vintage chalkboards don’t hurt, either! It’s the perfect setting for a playful and exuberant concert your musicians and guests are sure to adore.

3. Throw down the red carpet

Make your attendees feel like they’re at a red carpet event. Make a grand entry by laying down a crimson carpet. If you’re planning a concert on New Year’s Eve, consider using a step and repeat backdrop. Make arrangements for photographers to provide the feeling of being followed by paparazzi. If your budget allows it, consider surprising your audience by bringing a celebrity to your concert. Your audience will be impressed, and they will be waiting for your next concert.

The Sara Ellen event venue in York, PA would be the perfect event venue for concert ideas like this. The host provides you with a red carpet add-on service! And with the venue’s open layout and A/V equipment, throwing a concert here would come naturally.
