Title: Planning a concert particularly its facilities
Thesis statement: A concert would not be possible without considering the importance of an organized and well-equipped facility.

In short, logistics are all the little and big aspects that make for an event. The whole procedure of conceptualizing starts with setting up regular meet-ups with the concert committee to
