About Sidestage
Sidestage is an audio visual production company based in Canberra. It works out of an 850 square metre warehouse in Hume, where its whole inventory is kept under one roof, and supplies everything from a single speaker for a small function to the complete technical production for a festival. The audio range includes line array speakers and subwoofers, powered speakers, digital mixing consoles, wireless handheld, headset and lapel microphones, in-ear monitoring and lecterns. Lighting covers intelligent moving fixtures, wireless uplighters and control consoles, and the warehouse also stocks LED screens, truss, stage deck, drape, rigging, effects and power distribution. Clients can take the gear as a dry hire after supplying identification, or book Sidestage to design and run the event with its own technicians. Work in Canberra has included a formal evening function at the National Arboretum, a Navy reception at ADFA, a hybrid conference at ANU, outdoor theatre for an audience of 1,700 and a multi-stage festival at Thoroughbred Park. Beyond corporate events, the team lights and amplifies concerts, musical theatre, dance showcases, weddings, graduations and ceremonies, and can uplight buildings for open nights and brand events.

Frequently asked questions
Can I hire equipment without technicians?
Yes. Sidestage offers dry hire from its Hume warehouse. Because of the value of the gear, renters supply two forms of ID, such as a driver's licence, WWVP card or passport, before the first collection.
What audio equipment is available?
The range includes line array speakers and subwoofers, powered speakers, digital mixing consoles, wireless handheld, headset and lapel microphones, in-ear monitor systems, amplifiers, lecterns and microphone and speaker stands.
Do they handle lighting and video too?
Yes. Lighting includes intelligent moving fixtures, wireless uplighting and lighting consoles, and vision covers LED screens, projection and live camera feeds. Staging, truss, drape, rigging, effects and power are also stocked.
What kinds of events does Sidestage work on?
Conferences, galas, presentation evenings, product launches, forums, concerts, musical theatre, dance showcases, weddings, graduations and ceremonies, plus building uplighting for open nights and brand events.
How is an event quoted?
Sidestage doesn't publish rates. A short online questionnaire collects the event name, date and what you're interested in, such as full AV production, effects, draping, staging or equipment hire, and a quote is prepared from that.
