Backline

The amplifiers, drum kit, keyboards, and other instrument equipment on stage. Backline can be carried or rented locally.

In practice

The advance should identify each item, its specifications, who is supplying it, and where it needs to be at call time. A local rental can reduce transport, but the tour still needs to confirm substitutions and the crew member responsible for setup before line check.
