Concert Barricade
Concert barricade rental across Canada — French (mojo) stage barriers, steel pit barricades, photo-pit dividers. National coverage for concerts, festivals, tours.
Key Takeaways:
- •Concert barricades = heavy-duty barriers between audience and stage that absorb crowd-push energy
- •Standard: 4 ft × 4 ft × 4 ft cubes with sloped front face. Steel construction, 90–120 lb per unit
- •Pit configuration: front line + photo-pit (8–10 ft) + secondary barricade line
- •Daily rental: $15–$30 per unit. Most concerts use 16–40 barricades for stage front
Why Concert Barricades Are Different
Standard crowd barriers (steel 8 ft × 42 in) work for festival perimeters, parade routes, sports queues. They don't work for concert stage fronts — wrong geometry, no dynamic load absorption.
Concert barricades — French barricades, mojo barriers, or stage-front barricades — are purpose-built: - Sloped front face redirects impact downward - 4 ft tall — high enough to prevent stage encroachment, low enough for security to see over - 4×4 ft footprint — broad base prevents tipping - Interlocking distributes load across the line - 90–120 lb each — single barricade absorbs significant impact without sliding
Standard Concert Pit Configuration
- 1Front line: barricades at stage edge (or 4–6 ft off stage if photo-pit included)
- 2Photo-pit: 8–10 ft gap where security and photographers operate
- 3Secondary line: second row, defines back of photo-pit
- 4Crowd zone: front-of-house begins behind secondary line
Quantity Planning
- •Stage front 30 ft wide: 8 + 8 + 4 corners = 20 units
- •Stage front 40 ft wide: 24 units
- •Stage front 60 ft (festival): 36 units
- •Multi-sided in-the-round stage: 40+ units
Always order 2–4 spares for line repair during the show.
Pricing — What to Expect
- •Single-show concert pit (24 barricades × 1 day): $1,000–$1,500 including delivery + setup
- •Festival main stage (36 × 3 days): $2,500–$4,500
- •Multi-stage festival (3 stages × 24 × 3 days): $7,000–$10,000
