Five Piece Rock Band Stage Plot Template for Club Shows

What this template covers

This five piece rock band stage plot template is built for a band that has outgrown the four piece club setup. Two guitarists flank the kit on stage left and stage right, each running a mic'd cab, the bassist works center stage on a DI, and a dedicated frontman works the downstage center mic with no instrument in his hands. The extra real estate on this plot matches a bigger club or theater stage where you actually have room to spread the band out.

With two guitar cabs running at once, keep an eye on stage volume bleeding into the vocal mics. Angling both amps slightly inward toward the drummer instead of straight out at the audience keeps the two backing vocal mics cleaner and gives the frontman more headroom before feedback becomes a problem.

The input list builds itself from the icons on the stage: a full five piece kit, two mic'd guitar cabs, a bass DI, and three vocal channels for the frontman and both guitarists. The bass cab sits on the plot as backline only, since the bass itself is already generating the channel through the DI, so you are not stuck deleting a duplicate.

How to use it

Open the template in the editor and move pieces until they match your real stage. Rename the vocal channels to match your actual singers, swap either guitar amp for your rig, and drop in the DI positions and power runs your engineer will want on the input list.

• Five piece kit with a wedge and mic package for every drum
• Two guitar amps, mic'd, on opposite sides of the stage
• Bass on a DI with the cab shown for backline only
• Frontman on lead vocal, both guitarists on backing vocal
• One wedge per performer, five total

When the layout matches your band, send the link to the venue so soundcheck starts on time instead of eating into your set.
