Pop Band with Tracks Stage Plot Template for Live Shows
A pop band stage plot template with drums, bass, guitar, keys and a stereo tracks rig mapped out, so you can advance a click driven live show in minutes.
What this template covers
A modern pop band running against a click: drums, bass, guitar and keys behind a lead vocal, with a stereo tracks and playback rig feeding backing elements straight to front of house. Drums sit upstage centre, bass and guitar work either side, keys sits stage left of centre, and the tracks rig sits between the kit and keys where the drummer or a side tech can reach it.
The input list builds itself once the icons are on the stage: a mic'd four piece kit, a bass DI, a mic'd guitar cab, a stereo keys pair, a stereo pair from the tracks rig, and one lead vocal. The tracks rig is a real playback gear icon, not a bare DI box, which is why it carries its own two channels instead of showing up as an empty direct box on the input list.
Who uses this template
Pop, top 40 and original acts running tracks alongside a live band, artists advancing a festival or club slot that needs a click feed to the drummer, and engineers who need a fast, accurate pop band stage plot before a tracks-driven show. If your band runs a laptop and an interface to fill out the sound, this is built for you.
Channel walkthrough
Fifteen channels: eight from the drum kit, one bass DI, one mic'd guitar cab, two from the stereo keys, two from the stereo tracks pair, and one lead vocal. The click itself usually rides to the drummer's ears only rather than through a board channel, so it is not counted separately here.
Monitor notes
Five monitor mixes: the drummer runs in-ears to hear the click cleanly, while bass, guitar, keys and the lead vocal run wedges. Keep the tracks pair present in every mix so the band stays locked to the backing elements.
Customize it
Open the template in the editor and reposition the tracks rig to match where your tech actually runs it, add a second vocal mic if you carry a harmony singer, or swap the click to a wedge if your drummer does not run ears.
