Backline
Backline in the concert industry means simply: all the musical instruments and equipment needed to to play a show, except for the P.A., monitor, and lighting systems. This includes amplifiers, keyboards, drums, cymbals, stands, rack effects, cables, and sometimes guitars, basses, or orchestral instruments.
What you need depends on the kind of group you have, the style of music you play, the size of the hall, and the instrumentation. It might also depend on the budget of the promoter, or availability of certain equipment at a location.
