About
Who we are
In the Fall of 2022, five backline companies decided to combine their resources & expertise to create a united entity called The Backline Company, or TBC for short.
As The Backline Company, we look forward to providing the clients of all of our companies with the same attention to detail and high-level customer service that was the cornerstone of our shared values, but now with a more extensive inventory, a larger team of knowledgeable technicians, and a wider geographical coverage area.
TBC brings together over 75 years of industry experience across every conceivable corner where backline services are needed: internationally televised events with major superstars, world-renowned music festivals (on land and at sea), touring support for headliners and openers at every touring level, religious concerts and conferences supporting a wide variety of faiths, recording sessions for platinum-selling albums and 100-million+ streaming singles, and TV/Film shoots of all production types and budgets.
The Backline Company, we make your event better by making it easy.
