How do I make a festival lineup poster?

Type the festival name, the acts in billing order, the dates, venue and ticket details, and pick between the two designs.

Can I list many acts on the lineup poster?

Yes, separated in the body line, though a dozen names is about where an A3 poster stops being easy to read.

Making your lineup poster work

Festival lineup posters list a run of acts in descending size, and fans study them closely, looking for their favourites. The order of the names is the message: the headliner on top, everyone else beneath, with the dates and place close at hand.

What to write on it

The festival name and dates as the frame of the poster.
Acts in order of billing, with the headliner set biggest.
Where it is and where to get tickets, along the bottom.

One tip

Agree the billing order with the acts before printing. Lineup posters are one of the few places where the size of a name can cause an argument.
