Three common mistakes

Too simple

It all depends on the type of event you are setting a stage up for, while a simple stage adding the stage name on a banner is fine for a small informal event, it is unacceptable for big music events. Outdoor concert events require the set mood to be consistent throughout the event, with the help of lighting, sound system and backdrop designs this is possible.

Faulty Equipment

This every stage setup crew's nightmare. For one, it can ruin an entire stage setup, feedback and echoes can break the audience's attention from the main speaker on stage. This is a preventative issue that can be addressed initially to avoid mishaps during the event. (Link: https://www.sounddesignlive.com/how-to-control-feedback-in-live-sound/)

Poor Lighting

Lighting helps the audience know what the main focal point is. Using lighting effectively is a good way to set the overall mood. Without proper lighting the audience attention would not be directed to the main focus.
