Concert and Event Shipping

Specialized Freight Solutions for Tours, Festivals, and Live Events

At Sims Global Solutions, we understand that concert and event shipping is more than just freight—it’s showtime logistics. Whether it’s a national arena tour, a multi-stage festival, or a high-profile corporate event, moving the gear that makes live events happen requires precision, timing, and experience. Our specialized Concert and Event Shipping team has decades of expertise handling the unique challenges of live entertainment logistics.

From staging and lighting to instruments, merchandise, and AV equipment, your production assets are critical to the success of each show. We coordinate every shipment with meticulous care, ensuring your gear gets to the right place, at the right time—whether that’s backstage, front-of-house, or loading dock.

The Intricacies of Concert and Live Event Logistics

Shipping for concerts and live events is different from standard freight because it involves:

  • Time-Critical Scheduling: Live events run on tight timelines. Missed deadlines mean missed performances. 
  • Specialized Equipment Handling: Many items are delicate, high-value, or custom-built for a specific performance. 
  • Load-In/Load-Out Expertise: Understanding venue logistics, dock restrictions, crew coordination, and city permits is key. 
  • Multi-Stop Touring: Shows often move from city to city, requiring sequential, planned moves with real-time adjustments. 
  • 24/7 Availability: Event logistics don’t follow a 9-5 schedule. Emergencies can happen at midnight or 5 AM. 

Sims Global Solutions has the knowledge, network, and operations team to handle it all seamlessly so you can focus on the performance, not the shipping.
