Over the years, many artists have contributed to bands to release the best concert posters
In addition to album covers (see the best ones here), poster art has become an essential marketing piece for bands. Best Concert Posters of all time!
The modern poster, as we know it, dates back to the 1840 and 1850, when the printing industry perfected color lithography and made mass production possible.
When creating art, the artist must capture not only the attitude and essence of the band, but also the spirit of the album or tour that the poster is announcing.
The best concert posters have always captured the essence of the music they promoted and the spirit of the era in which they were produced.
Therefore, posters have also become collector’s items. In addition to concerts, many collect posters of films, series, bands and more.
