Front of Stage Barriers for Concerts and Festivals in Reading

Front of stage barriers, also known as pit barriers or mojo barriers, are heavy-duty crowd control barriers positioned between the stage and the audience at concerts and live events. They create a safe zone for performers and security staff while managing crowd pressure in high-energy environments. Our barriers are designed to withstand significant crowd load while maintaining a professional appearance at events across Reading.

Our front of stage barrier system has been specifically designed to reduce finger nipping — a common issue with poorly designed stage barriers. Each barrier measures 1.2m high by 1.0m long with a fully galvanised steel frame, and the interlocking system allows for a straighter run than many alternatives. 90 degree corners and access gates for cable ramps and stage access are available as part of the system.

With 100 metres of barrier in stock, we can support events ranging from smaller concert stages up to large festival setups. Front of stage barriers are available on a full-service basis only — our trained team handles all delivery, installation and removal to ensure barriers are set up safely and correctly every time.

Concert crowd management – controlling crowd pressure directly in front of the stage
Performer protection – maintaining a safe distance between artists and the audience
Security and medical access – creating a working corridor for event staff
Festival stages – securing the front of stage area at multi-stage outdoor events

VIP pit areas – defining a controlled front-of-stage zone for special guests
Photo and media pits – creating a dedicated space for photographers and press
Smaller concert venues – improving safety at club and theatre shows where crowds gather near the stage
Outdoor community events – stage safety at public performances and community concerts
