Digital signage for concert halls & cultural venues

Transforming venues from halls of sound into dynamic media spaces

From greetings to backstage navigation and audience engagement, every moment matters in concert venues and cultural centers. Static signage doesn’t keep pace with event changes or audience flow. Digital signage, in contrast, offers real-time flexibility, dynamic content, and a unified visual identity across all zones of the venue.

With the right screens deployed at entrance halls, corridors, lobbies, and auditoriums, a venue can guide guests smoothly, highlight programming, and reinforce brand presence - all while making the venue itself part of the show.

Key use cases: where screens make a difference

1. Welcome & Wayfinding

At the main entrances and lobbies, screens display event schedules, venue maps, and directional cues - helping attendees find their way even in large or unfamiliar layouts.

2. Event Promotions & Announcements

Throughout the venue, screens can showcase upcoming concerts, artist spotlights, or surprise guest announcements. When last-minute changes occur, content can be updated instantly.

3. Audience Engagement

During intermissions or in waiting areas, digital displays might present behind-the-scenes footage, sponsor messages, or interactive content tailored to the performance.

4. Partner & Sponsor Visibility

Large venues can allocate premium screen real estate to sponsors. Dynamic signage enables rotating banners, sponsor recognition, and contextual placements that align with specific events or segments.

Case Study: Olympia, Paris a cultural icon upgraded with digital signage

The legendary Olympia music hall in Paris chose Zebrix to modernize its visitor communication. Their deployment includes 8 video walls and 25 external player-connected displays, all managed via Zebrix.

Today, Olympia uses screens to:

• Provide program information,
• Guide attendees toward ticket counters,
• Enliven the venue with visuals linked to current events or tributes.

This implementation shows how even historic cultural venues can adopt digital signage while preserving their identity.
