Concert — Kohtla-Järve

A concert in Kohtla-Järve moves the cost line three ways: the room, the power, and the distance. Most venues here were built for other purposes, so rigging follows the ceiling and the ceiling is what it is. Power matters because a stage that sounds good draws more than the building was wired for, and solving that early is cheaper than solving it the afternoon of load-in.

The third is transport. Kohtla-Järve sits two hours east of Tallinn, which means crew, truck and staging all price in the journey. A local show with in-house PA brought by the act costs less than a full rider flown in from the capital. Decide what crosses the Jõhvi junction and what doesn't.
