Likely the name of the event and the date the event occurs, followed by how to purchase tickets. Then the venue comes next, closely followed by the participating artists. The genre could potentially be described via the background/imagery on the poster - it may not need text at all. Legal stuff is always small and at the bottom (there's reasons for that). The information hierarchy is established, now to use design principles to solve the design problem within the constraints. | |

You can't hide all the info behind a click like in your example, everything needs to be on there: name, genre, date, venue, artists, ticket info, legal stuff, ... | |
