The photo shows the roof of this building and the hands of the cameraman are visible.
Take it from an actual stagehand, it’s front of house irregardless of venue. I’m sure there are different names but if you work in the industry, that’s front of house.
*regardless *irrespective
Pick one.
I hate it too, but irregardless has officially been a word in dictionaries for years now.
Thanks.
Please stop that…
Yup.
Front of house. The left and right portions of the stage from the crowd perspective are called house left and house right. Left and right portions of the stage perspective is stage left and stage right. The terms are used a lot when setting up lights and calibrating sound.
Sound booth (tent)
It’s indeed called a sound booth in a roller skating rink, but it tends to be an actual booth at those.
Ours just calls it booth because the light gods are in there too
FOH (Front Of House)
The Thrombulacum
We always called it the sound stage
Really? Sound stage has at least two other completely different meanings already
Might be regional. I work at festivals in the UK and it's called the sound stage here.
Thanks! Haha
We call it the Nerd Box.
We called it the PA. Back in the day when I was involved in organising and setting up parties and small concerts. (each about once a year). Not very accurate (looked it up just now) , but you might hear it referred to as such.
What does PA stand for?
Best match I could find: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_address_system

Often shortened to FOH

This.
Adding to that: In concert halls or club venues it’s called the same, it’s not only a festival thing.

In theater it’s sometimes called the ‘Bio Box’. However, in theatre it is often tucked away right up the top, and is called 'The Gods '.

It’s where the concert sounds best!

Seems to me, from watching a Dave rat video or two, a good sound engineer can make it sound good everywhere

I wonder why this name came about?

Probably from the theater. The stage would be at the back of the building, and this would be in the "front of the house."
