Some advice:
Your design is full of extraneous elements. Why? Two reasons:
1) your taking aesthetic cues from other, older designs. Both Saville's factory stuff and TDR's 90s work (45ยบ lines etc).2) You are not designing to an idea. Design is about ideas. What are you trying to communicate above and beyond the venue/date info?
Solutions: Work with what you've got. Maybe design a logo or wordmark for platform promotions since they don't have one and then develop a look and feel system that you can use for all subsequent promotions based on that logo.
Saville's work for Factory records took its visual look and feel in part from warning and hazard signs that you might find in a factory so it made sense.
In your other post you showed an old flyer for the same company that was based around london undergroud. Why not pick up on the whole platform/rail graphic vernacular?
You could based your design loosely on the tube map or some other visual train cliche. That way, you'd have link to the promoter's name and a reasoning for your graphic look and feel.
