A Stage Plot (or technical rider) is a document that details exactly what your band needs to make a show fantastic.
It details the equipment and instruments of every band member, the input you will need from the venues that you're playing and how you want your stage to look and sound. What Can You Include on a Tech Rider? If you're a small band and you don't have much equipment or instruments with you, your Stage Plot will most likely mainly cover the gear that you're using onstage. As your band grows, your Tech Rider will start to include any FOH consoles that you bring with you, the lighting rigs you're touring with and any pyrotechnics that you have onstage. A Stage Plot is constantly updated as you continue touring and continue growing as a band.
