About this 1955 concert poster
Concert posters capture a moment in music history, down to the venue and the date. This poster advertised a 1955 show. Rock and roll was born in the 1950s, and early show posters were bold, text-heavy letterpress designs. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night. Concert posters were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive.
Styling this vintage concert poster
For fans of Bill Haley and His Comets, this 1955 poster is a striking way to bring live-music history home. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. Finish this vintage concert poster with a black or antique-gold frame for a clean, gallery-style look. For a gallery wall, pair this vintage concert poster with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart. Keep this vintage concert poster out of strong direct sunlight to protect its colours.
