Client Success Story · Event Production

Live at the Square, Derry

A complete outdoor production package for a large-scale live event — over 100m² of LED, full lighting, professional audio, staging, structures, power and the crew to build, run and take it all away again.

Over 100m² of LED

At this scale, visibility is the whole job

An outdoor event only works if the people at the back are watching the same show as the people at the front.

A crowd spread across an open square is not one audience. It is a near audience that can see the stage, and a far audience that can hear it and not much else. Everything about an LED design at this scale is aimed at closing that gap — how big the main screen is, where the additional screens sit, and how far back the last usable sightline actually falls.

The installation was designed so that audiences throughout the venue had a clear view of the show and the event content, not just those in front of the stage. Additional LED across the site carried the same feed to the parts of the square the main screen could not reach.

The package

Everything, from one supplier

Coordinated from the planning stage rather than assembled from separate contracts on the day.

LED and video

Over 100m² of outdoor LED — large-format main stage screen plus additional screens across the site, with video processing and signal distribution behind them.

Audio

Professional PA and audio systems designed for an open outdoor site rather than scaled up from a room.

Lighting

Full event lighting production, lit for the crowd, the stage and the camera at the same time.

Structures and power

Staging, trussing, production infrastructure and power distribution — the parts nobody photographs and everything depends on.

Built for live events

Delivering the kit is the easy part

Large outdoor productions are won and lost on the sequence, not the inventory.

Planned as one system

From the first planning stage. LED, audio, lighting, power, structures, crew and logistics coordinated together so each element works with the others rather than around them.

Equipment preparation

Before anything moves. Kit prepared, tested and loaded in the order it will be needed on site, which is what makes a tight build achievable.

Truck loading and transport

Load order is production planning. What comes off first is what goes up first; get that wrong and the whole build queues behind a lorry.

Site access and build sequencing

Worked out in advance. Access, unloading and the order of the build agreed so substantial productions fit inside tight event schedules.

Crew for the duration

Install, operation and breakdown. The same team through the whole job, so nobody arrives at nine on the night not knowing where anything is.

Off site cleanly

Through to the final truck leaving. Derig planned as carefully as the build, because the venue has to be handed back.

Across Ireland and the UK

The same package, wherever the event is

Outdoor concerts, festivals, sporting events, corporate productions and exhibitions.

Live at the Square is one example of a package we deliver regularly at this scale. What travels is not just the equipment but the method — the planning, the load order, the build sequence and the crew who have done it before.

That is what makes it possible to take on a substantial production in a venue we have not worked in and still be tested and ready before doors open.
