Mobile Staging & Outdoor Stage Rentals in Edmonton
Professional Stages for Concerts, Festivals & Events
When your event needs a stage, the structure has to do much more than provide a place to perform. It has to work with the site, production requirements, audience, schedule, equipment and people who will use it.
Allstar Show Industries provides mobile staging and temporary event staging in Edmonton and throughout Alberta and Western Canada for concerts, festivals, corporate events, community celebrations and other live productions.
Our staging solutions include mobile stages, stage roof structures, self-climbing stage systems, portable conventional staging, runways, catwalks and modular platforms.
And when the stage is only one part of the production, Allstar can bring staging together with professional audio, lighting, video, rigging, power and technical production support through one experienced team.

Safe, Modular Stage Infrastructure for Concerts & Festivals
Rent What You Need—With the Support You Need
Not every project requires complete production management. Sometimes you already have the plan, personnel and technical experience—you simply need reliable professional equipment.
Allstar provides rental equipment for production companies, technicians, venues, musicians, touring groups and organizations throughout Alberta and Western Canada.
From individual components and backline instruments to complete audio, lighting, video and staging packages, our team can help identify the equipment and support level appropriate for your production.
Mobile Stages
Mobile stages provide an efficient staging solution for many outdoor concerts, festivals, community events and public gatherings.
The appropriate mobile stage depends on the production requirements and event site. Allstar can help determine a staging solution based on the performance area, technical requirements, available space, site access and other production considerations.
Stage Roof Structures
For events requiring a larger temporary stage and covered production area, Allstar offers stage roof structures designed for professional live-event applications.
Stage and roof planning should account for the equipment that will interact with the structure, including audio, lighting, video and rigging systems. Bringing those disciplines together early helps create a more coordinated production plan.
Portable Conventional & Modular Staging
Not every event requires a large mobile or roofed stage. Portable conventional staging and modular platforms provide flexibility for presentations, indoor events, runways, catwalks, performance areas and other applications where a stage needs to be configured around a particular space or program.
Allstar can also provide runways, catwalks and modular platforms as part of an event staging solution.
Outdoor Stages for Concerts
Concert staging needs to work for the artists, production crew, equipment and audience at the same time.
Stage dimensions and configuration can affect backline placement, monitor positions, lighting, video, audio deployment, performer movement, changeovers and audience sightlines. Larger productions may also introduce significant rigging and infrastructure requirements.
Allstar has more than 40 years of experience supporting live productions and concerts. Our staging team can work alongside audio, lighting, video, rigging and production personnel to develop a coordinated technical solution rather than treating each system independently.
For concert organizers, promoters and production managers, that means staging can be planned around the show that actually needs to happen on it.
Festival Staging & Production Support
Festivals introduce another level of production planning. Artist schedules, changeovers, site access, production areas, equipment requirements, audience flow and multiple technical systems all have to work within the same event site and schedule.
Allstar has supported music festivals and special events with staging as well as audio, video, lighting and backline production services.
Whether the requirement is a primary performance stage, another performance area or modular staging elsewhere on the site, our team can help coordinate staging with the broader technical production.
For festival organizers, involving the staging and production team early can help identify practical site and technical considerations before plans become difficult or expensive to change.
Staging for Corporate & Public Events
Outdoor staging is not limited to concerts and music festivals. Corporate events, public presentations, product launches, brand activations, civic celebrations, ceremonies and community events may all require a professional stage that gives presenters and performers an appropriate focal point.
Allstar can provide temporary staging as part of a larger event production that may include:
- Professional audio systems
- Stage and event lighting
- LED video and other video systems
- Truss and rigging
- Backline
- Temporary power and generators
- Technical personnel
- Production management and logistics
This integrated approach is particularly valuable when multiple production systems need to fit within the same stage, site and schedule.
Indoor & Outdoor Event Staging
Although mobile stages are particularly useful for outdoor events, Allstar’s staging capabilities extend beyond outdoor concerts and festivals.
Portable conventional staging, modular platforms, runways and catwalks can be configured for a variety of indoor and outdoor event applications.
Allstar’s existing staging experience includes event sites such as concert venues, convention centres, parks, schools, parking lots, arenas, fields, stadium environments and city streets.
The best staging approach depends on the site rather than simply whether an event is indoors or outdoors.
One Team for the Stage and the Production Around It
A major advantage of working with Allstar is the ability to coordinate the stage with the technical systems that need to work on, above and around it.
Professional Audio
Concerts and festivals can require substantial sound systems, monitor systems, consoles, microphones and supporting audio infrastructure. Planning the audio and stage together helps account for equipment locations, stage layout and other production requirements.
Event & Concert Lighting
Stage lighting can range from practical illumination for presenters to full concert lighting systems. Allstar can coordinate lighting equipment, control and technical personnel as part of the same production plan.
Video & LED
Large events may incorporate LED video, cameras, switching, projection or other visual systems. Considering video requirements during staging and site planning can help address placement, visibility and production infrastructure before installation begins.
Truss & Rigging
Rigging is a critical consideration whenever equipment is suspended as part of a production. Allstar provides professional truss and rigging solutions and works with experienced structural engineers for certification and verification where applicable. Anticipated loads, movable loads and wind loads are among the considerations addressed for event rigging applications.
Power & Production Infrastructure
Temporary events can also require generators, power distribution and other production infrastructure. Coordinating these requirements with the stage, audio, lighting and video plan helps reduce conflicts during installation and operation.
What Should Be Considered When Planning an Outdoor Stage?
From site logistics and technical gear to weather planning and schedules, building a successful outdoor stage requires careful coordination. Here is what to consider before locking in your event site plan.
Site Access
Can the required staging and production vehicles reach the installation location safely and efficiently? Access routes, gates, road restrictions, load-in areas and other site conditions can affect what is practical.
Ground & Site Conditions
The staging location and surrounding production areas need to be evaluated for the specific equipment and installation. Ground conditions, slope, drainage and available working space can all influence planning.
Stage Size & Performance Requirements
Consider how the stage will actually be used. How many performers will be on stage? Is backline required? Are there multiple acts or fast changeovers? Will there be presenters, dancers or other programming? Is additional space required for technical positions or equipment?
Audio, Lighting, Video & Rigging
These systems should be considered before the staging plan is finalized. A stage that appears large enough based only on performance space may not accommodate the full technical production once lighting, video, audio and rigging requirements are included.
Audience & Sightlines
Stage position and height influence how well the audience can see the program. Video screens, speaker placement, viewing angles, audience areas and site obstructions should be considered together.
Power
Outdoor productions frequently require temporary electrical distribution or generator power. Power requirements should be determined from the complete production system rather than estimated from the stage alone.
Weather Planning
Outdoor events need plans for changing conditions. Weather monitoring, communication responsibilities and operational procedures should be established in advance and coordinated with the requirements of the staging and other temporary production systems in use.
Load-In, Show & Load-Out Schedule
A realistic production schedule needs time for delivery, installation, technical setup, testing, rehearsals or sound checks, the event itself and removal. Bringing Allstar into the planning process early allows these requirements to be considered before the event schedule and site plan are locked in.
