Need the gig first?
Poster Lab is made by SideStage, where independent bands and venues find each other, book gigs and get paid. Soon you'll sign in with your SideStage account and your confirmed gigs will fill in the poster for you.
Type in your gig, add your genre, drop in a band photo. Poster Lab designs a print-ready poster, an Instagram story and a Facebook banner, all from one form.
Fill the form once and switch between sizes. Each one is laid out for where it's going, not just stretched.
Add your genres, or just describe the night in your own words, and Poster Lab picks the look: fonts, colours and photo filter. Here are a few.
No design skills, no software, no account.
Band name, support acts, venue, date, doors and ticket price. Paste a ticket link and you get a QR code too.
Type a genre or two. Punk gets cut-and-paste xerox, synth gets neon grids, covers bands get a classic pub look.
Save the PNG for socials, the PDF for the printer, and copy a ready-made caption with hashtags.
Type "spooky metal night, orange" or tap Surprise me. Rock, metal, electronic, folk, pub, soul, hip-hop and seasonal looks.
Duotone, photocopy grit, cyberpunk or each look's own grade. Phone photos come out looking deliberate.
Drop in your logo, remove its background, resize and move it, swap black and white, or tint it.
A4 at 300 DPI or A3 at 280 DPI. Take it to any print shop or print it at home.
Build, save and post straight from your phone. Add it to your home screen for one-tap access.
Everything happens in your browser. Your photos and details are never uploaded anywhere.

The line-up poster maker handles the big ones: your festival logo, up to four days, headliners, band logos, the small-print acts and a sponsor row. It works for markets, fairs and any event with a programme too.
