Festival production from rider to dismantling
Festival production is the stage, the audience technology and the crew that builds and runs it. We supply LED screens, sound, lighting, modular stages and truss, three-phase power with generators, and cameras for the screens, then install and operate them through the show. Every project has a technical lead who collects the riders, builds the load-in and rehearsal schedule and coordinates the crews on site. At multi-stage festivals each stage gets its own set and crew, and the technical lead plans the changeovers between acts. We work for organisers, event agencies and venues, as the supplier of the whole technical production or of one part of it, for example only the screens and the video.
Sound, lighting and video engineers and LED operators are billed separately, by days and hours on site. Show-calling is available on request. More about the crew: on-site technical crew.
Outdoor LED screens and the camera feed
For open-air stages we supply IP65 LED screens from P3.9, ground-stacked or flown on truss. We size the main screen to the distance of the furthest viewers; on a large site, side screens next to the stage shorten that distance. Outdoor LED costs from €112 net per m² per event day, including delivery, installation, setup and dismantling. Get a first estimate in the LED price calculator, or see LED screen rental and LED walls for the stage.
The camera feed (IMAG) puts close-ups from the stage on the side screens, so people at the back see faces and gestures. A video engineer mixes the cameras with visuals and the organiser's announcements; between acts the screens show the schedule and sponsor content. Our in-house motion designers prepare stage content and 3D animation. See cameras and multi-camera production.
Line-array sound and stage lighting
We size the sound system to the audience and the site. Indoors the room acoustics matter most; outdoors it is coverage and direction, including towards nearby houses. The range runs from column PAs for small concerts to line arrays for festivals of more than 1000 people, with digital consoles, wireless and headset microphones and a FOH position for the sound engineer. Stage monitors follow the artists' riders. More in sound systems.
Concert lighting uses moving heads, profiles and RGBW wash fixtures, including IP65 versions for outdoor work, run from grandMA-class consoles by a lighting operator. When the show starts in daylight, we plan the lighting rehearsal after dark if the site schedule allows. See stage lighting.
Stages, truss and power
We supply modular stages and podiums with a roof, stairs and railings, assembled by our crew. Truss carries the lights, sound and screens; we plan it together with the stage design, so heights, loads and hang points are known before load-in, and flown loads are rigged by qualified people. See truss and stage structures and stage design and visualisation.
Outdoors, power is a project of its own. We calculate the demand of screens, lights and sound, distribute three-phase power and supply generators where the site has no connection of sufficient capacity. Generator positions and cable routes are agreed with the organiser and the landowner.
Schedule and weather
- Riders and site plan. Artist riders, the site or hall plan, the running order and the audience size.
- Design and quote. Equipment matched to stage and audience, a power calculation and a full net quote within 24 hours.
- Load-in. Truss, roof, screens, lights, power and cabling.
- Rehearsals. Line check, artist sound checks and a technical rehearsal of the whole programme with the screens.
- Show, changeovers and dismantling. Engineers run sound, lighting and video; after the event we dismantle and load out.
Open air needs a plan for rain, wind and temperature. Outdoor LED screens and wash fixtures are IP65. Consoles and operator positions stand under cover, and cables are routed out of water and away from audience walkways. The technical lead agrees with the organiser in advance what happens in strong wind or a storm. Permits and the safety plan stay with the organiser; we provide the weights, power draw and mounting data they need.
Case and coverage
For Flo Camp 25, a two-day corporate camp event across five locations that ran much like a small festival, we designed the scenography with a large custom tent-style main stage and an afterparty stage, and supplied LED screens, sound and lighting, including the outdoor zones. More projects are in cases.
Our office and warehouse are in Warsaw. We produce festivals and concerts anywhere in Poland and across Europe for larger productions. Book at least one week ahead. Send the riders, site plan, date and audience size through the contact form or call +48 453 366 654.
