About this 1984 concert poster

Concert posters were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive. It was designed to promote a 1984 concert. 1980s music posters reflected MTV-era style, from new wave graphics to heavy metal illustration. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. Concert posters capture a moment in music history, down to the venue and the date.

Styling this vintage concert poster

A 1984 souvenir of Metallica, Tank, it suits a listening room, studio or hallway. 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.
