Outdoor stage, LED screen, sound and lighting for the Eclectic Love programme at Mayfest in Belfast.
What the job involved, and what it had to work around.
The project
Belfast in May can give you all four seasons before the first act finishes. The stage has to be weather-tight, the screen has to stay legible in flat daylight and still look right after dark, and the whole thing has to load in and out of a city site without a week’s closure.
DSD supplied the covered stage, the LED screen behind the performers, the PA and the lighting rig, and ran the show through the day into the night — the point in an outdoor festival where a screen either earns its place or turns into a grey rectangle.
The Eclectic Love programme runs across genres, so the visual content changes as often as the line-up does. Handling that live is the difference between a screen and a backdrop.
What we supplied
Every part of the job, listed rather than summarised.
Weather-tight roofed stage sized for the site and the line-up.
Outdoor-rated screen bright enough to hold up in daylight and dark enough not to blow out at night.
Full PA and lighting rig for an outdoor city-centre site.
Content and lighting run live across the programme.
Tell us the site, the date and what it has to do. We will tell you what it takes and whether we are the right people for it.
