Logistics & Backline Support
For an Erykah Badu performance in Frankfurt, Black Cat Logistics provided both transportation and operational production support. From transport planning and supplier collections to on-site backline assistance, our team ensured that the show could proceed according to schedule.
In international concert productions, our responsibility does not end when the truck arrives on site.
Black Cat Logistics actively supports production teams, technical crews and backline operations whenever required. Our drivers and project staff are experienced in the realities of touring and understand the challenges that arise during build-up, showtime and breakdown.
For an Erykah Badu performance in Frankfurt, we provided both transportation and operational support to ensure the production remained on schedule.
The production relied on equipment sourced from multiple suppliers across different locations.
Equipment needed to be transported from Amsterdam to Frankfurt while incorporating several scheduled collections along the route.
Everything had to arrive according to a strict timeline so that the production build could begin without delays.
During setup, an additional challenge emerged when no drum technician was available to assemble the drum kit of drummer Cleon Edwards.
Black Cat Logistics managed the complete logistics preparation and execution for this production.
Our team coordinated the full transportation operation, including truck allocation, route planning, load planning and supplier collections along the route from Amsterdam to Frankfurt.
Every movement was scheduled to ensure all equipment arrived on time and in the correct sequence for production build-up.
At Black Cat Logistics, we believe entertainment logistics requires more than transportation expertise.
Many of our drivers also have practical experience as:
This allows them to actively contribute during build-up, showtime and breakdown while understanding the operational priorities of the production.
An important part of our service is advising clients on loading sequences and logistics workflows.
By planning around:
we ensure that the right equipment is available at the right time.
This reduces build times, lowers stress levels on site and allows technical crews to work more efficiently.
Through a combination of precise logistics planning, technical understanding and a hands-on approach, the production was completed successfully.
Equipment arrived according to schedule, operational support was available when required and the show proceeded without delays.
For artists, production teams and tour management, this means working with a logistics partner that not only transports equipment, but understands what is required to make a show happen.
Black Cat Logistics specialises in entertainment logistics, touring, backline support and time-critical project transportation.
Our people do not simply bring the show to the venue — they help make the show possible.
