Gallagher Staging and Productions

What Gallagher Staging and Productions does

Gallagher Staging and Productions (legal entity: Gallagher Staging and Manufacturing) is a La Mirada, California-based provider of custom and rental staging infrastructure for live events. The company serves concert touring artists, music festivals, television productions, sports celebrations, corporate events, and trade shows. Its core offering centers on proprietary modular hardware — the G-Block ballast support system (standard, Mini, and Micro variants), the G-Deck aluminum modular deck platform (standard, grated, round, and triangular in sizes from 1'x1' to 4'x10'), and the G-Wall aluminum understructure system — combined with custom scenic fabrication executed through its in-house G-SET and G-GEAR manufacturing arms. Materials and engineering techniques are sourced from aerospace industry practices, and the company stocks a substantial rental inventory of truss and roof structures, mobile trailer stages, barricades, turntables (4' to 55' diameter), ring scaffold, lighting, video systems, fashion runways, and ground cover flooring.

The revenue model is hybrid: (1) one-time custom stage fabrication for individual tours and festivals, (2) usage-based rental of modular equipment for defined event durations, and (3) professional services covering on-site assembly, load-in/load-out, and technical support. Pricing is quote-based with no published tiers, and go-to-market is direct-to-client — no formal reseller network. The motion is event-driven, targeting enterprise production companies, artist management teams, festival organizers, corporate event planners, and broadcasters. Named clients include Insomniac Events (Electric Daisy Carnival), Coachella, Stagecoach, Rolling Loud, KAABOO, The Grammys, MTV Fandom Awards, BET Awards, Disney, Cisco Live, San Francisco Opera, and marquee artists such as Green Day, Selena Gomez, J. Cole, Tyler the Creator, Slipknot, Karol G, and Bad Omens.

The company was founded in 2011 by Joey Gallagher, grew from approximately 50 employees to over 160 by 2019, and was acquired by TAIT (TAIT Towers) in 2020 following a complete COVID-19 shutdown that also triggered a pivot into at-cost disaster relief shelters and the Social Sanctuary live-streaming initiative. Post-pandemic, the company has returned to full event production operations, currently reports 11–50 employees, holds a 2013 PLASA Rock our World Award and a Parnelli Award, and operates as "Gallagher (A TAIT Company)."
