Festival Production & Open-Air
Events up to 30,000 Guests
Multi-stage production for up to 30,000 guests
Festival production for up to 30,000 guests
Festival and open-air production for technical directors and promoters. We equip main stages, second stages and DJ areas with sound, lighting, LED side screens and stage structures, and staff each stage with its own crew so changeovers stay on schedule.
For audiences of up to 30,000 we design main PA and delay systems with d&b audiotechnik line arrays, build lighting rigs with Robe, Claypaky and ACME fixtures and add P3.9 outdoor LED screens for IMAG. We have delivered full technical production for three international music festivals.

Stage by stage
Main stage: d&b audiotechnik line arrays with delay towers for large audiences, a full lighting rig on grandMA and P3.9 side screens for IMAG.
Second stages: compact line arrays and lighting rigs scaled to the audience.
DJ and side areas: point-source systems and effect lighting.
Each stage has its own crew, so changeovers stay on schedule across the whole programme. See our international music festivals case study.
Working outdoors: power, weather and noise
Outdoor shows need more planning than indoor ones. Before the event we plan power distribution and cable routes, weather protection for consoles, amplifiers and stage equipment, and delay positions that keep the sound even across the site while respecting the noise limits agreed with the organiser and the local authorities.
On show days our crew follows the weather forecast. Truss, LED screens and flown systems are used within the wind limits set by their manufacturers, and the procedure for strong wind or a thunderstorm is written into the event safety plan together with the organiser. If conditions require it, we secure the equipment and the stage so the show can continue as soon as it is safe.
