Organizing an online concert requires good planning, selecting the right tools, and coordinating several technical and
logistics. Here are the main steps to organize an online concert.
1-Planning the concert
-Define the concert: Decide if it will be an acoustic concert, a live session or an event with several artists
- Artist Selection: Invite the artists who will participate. Make sure they are familiar with the technology and have the equipment
necessary for good online performance.
-Choose date and time: Consider your audience's time zones if you have an international audience.
2- Choice of platform
-Streaming platforms: Select a platform suitable for live, such as YouTube live, Facebook live, Zoom, Twitch or dedicated platforms
like Stageet or Veeps. Choose a platform that allows interaction with the audience via chat or live questions.
-Streaming quality: Make sure the chosen platform offers good video and audio quality.
3- Technical equipment
-Audio: Invest in quality microphones and audio interfaces for the best sound experience
-Video: Use HD cameras or smartphones with good resolution.
-Internet Connection: Make sure you have a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions during the performance.
4- Promotion and ticketing
-Promotion: Use social media, email marketing, media partnerships or influencers to promote your concert.
- Ticketing: If you sell tickets, use platforms like Eventbrite, Ticketmaster or platforms specific to online concerts.
You can also offer free participation options with the possibility of online donations.
5- Rehearsals and technical tests
-Rehearsals: Organize rehearsals with the artists to make sure everything is working well (sound, image, connection).
-Technical tests: Perform a test of the streaming platform to check the quality of the audio and video and that the connection is stable.
6- Interaction with the public
-Live Chat: Engage audiences in real-time with questions or shout-outs
-Moderation: Have a moderator to manage the flow of comments and resolve any technical issues.
7- Monetization and donations
-Ticket sales: Offer different categories of tickets (standard, VIP with a private session, etc.)
-Donations: Use platforms like Patreon, Paypal, or Ko-fi to allow the audience to donate during or after the concert.
8- Recording and replay
-Recording: Consider recording the concert for later replay or sale.
-Rebroadcast: Offer the possibility to those who missed the concert to watch it later, either for free or by paying for access.
With good organization, your online concert can be a great success and reach a global audience!
