Concert & Live Performance AV Services in Hawaii

Concerts and live performances in Hawaii are where meetings turn into memories. Whether it’s a headline act on the beach, a high-energy band in a ballroom, or a cultural performance woven into your welcome reception, the show has to feel concert-level while still fitting your brand, agenda, and venue.

We know what it takes to make both global and local talent feel at home on a Hawaii stage.

Concert-Grade Audio for Acts & Live Bands

When you bring in a band, DJ, or headline act, the audio has to be dialed in—from the front row to the back of the lawn. We deploy rider-approved d&b audiotechnik systems and other professional touring-grade components, so artists and engineers see brands they trust the moment they walk in.

Tour-quality d&b audiotechnik PA systems sized for ballrooms, pavilions, exhibit halls, and outdoor stages.
Monitor systems (wedges and in-ears) to keep performers comfortable and confident.
Dedicated audio engineers experienced with major artists and high-profile shows.
RF and microphone coordination for vocalists, instruments, hosts, and MCs.
System design that balances concert energy with resort, venue, and neighborhood sound guidelines.

Show Lighting & Visual Design for Concerts

Lighting is what turns “a band in the corner” into a real concert experience. We design lighting that matches your act, your audience, and your venue—whether you’re in a ballroom at Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort, on an oceanfront lawn at Wailea Beach Resort – Marriott, Maui, on a pool deck at Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, or on a main stage at the Honolulu Convention Center:

Concert-style stage lighting for bands, DJs, and featured vocalists.
Dynamic movement and color that build energy throughout the set.
Beam and atmospheric effects (where appropriate) to elevate big moments.
Clean, flattering looks for executive remarks and short intros before the headliner.
Scenic and architectural lighting that ties in palm trees, pathways, pavilions, and convention halls.

Backline, Staging & Onsite Show Management

We help streamline every technical piece so artists and planners can focus on the show and the guests:

Stage design and layout for full bands, DJs, cultural performers, and special guests.
Coordination of backline and instrument needs (drums, keyboards, amps, DJ gear) to align with artist riders.
Stage management and showcalling to keep sound checks, performances, and transitions on time.
Integration with décor, scenic, and entertainment partners so the stage look matches the rest of your event.

Concert & Live Performance FAQs

What AV do we typically need for a concert in Hawaii?

Every show is different, but most concerts and live performances involve:

A concert-grade PA system sized for your venue and guest count
Monitor systems for performers (wedges and/or in-ear monitoring)
Microphones and DIs for vocals and instruments
Stage and effects lighting for the band and stage area
Video support (LED or projection, IMAG) for larger audiences
Playback systems for walk-in/out music and video content
Onsite audio, lighting, and video engineers and stage management

Share your act type (headline artist, band, DJ, cultural performers), venue, and approximate attendance, and we’ll propose a tailored show package.

Can you work with our entertainment agency or the artist’s technical rider?

Yes. We regularly work from artist riders and entertainment agency specs. We can:

Review the rider and align it with what’s realistic for your venue and budget.
Coordinate backline, staging, and technical requirements locally in Hawaii.
Communicate directly with tour managers or production teams to finalize the plan.

Can you support a concert that follows a general session or awards program?

Absolutely. Many of our concerts immediately follow general sessions, conferences, or awards nights. We can:

Design a system that supports both the formal program and the concert with minimal changeover.
Plan lighting and audio transitions that clearly shift the atmosphere from “meeting” to “show.”
Coordinate stage resets so the evening feels continuous and well-planned for your guests.

How far in advance should we plan a concert or live performance in Hawaii?

The earlier the better—especially with headline artists or complex outdoor shows. Planning ahead allows us to:

Reserve the right equipment, crew, and staging.
Work with your venue on space, timing, and noise considerations.
Coordinate with your entertainment partners and artists on technical details.

If your date is already close, we’ll still work quickly to build the strongest possible solution for your timeline.
