About this 1981 concert poster
Concert posters capture a moment in music history, down to the venue and the date. It was designed to promote a 1981 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. By the 1970s, concert promotion moved to arenas and stadiums, and posters advertised ever larger shows. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night.
Styling this vintage concert poster
For fans of Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard, this 1981 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. A black or antique-gold frame suits this vintage concert poster well and keeps the focus on the image. 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.
