Chauvet’s products were used to add extra colour and excitement to 17 of the festival’s stages
UK - They might not have been as common as flags at Glastonbury, but Chauvet Professional fixtures were widely deployed at Worthy Farm. The company’s products were used to add extra colour and excitement to 17 of the festival’s stages.
Included in the group were main attractions like the Pyramid, Greenpeace, Flying Bus and new Levels stages, as well as more specialised attractions like the Avalon Stage, nightclub-like Salon Carousel, The Hive Stage, Outside Circus Stage, and the San Remo Stage.
At the Pyramid Stage, John Luke Roles used 30 of the Color Strike M motorised strobe/blinders, supplied by Solotech, UK Group, in his floor package for Lizzo’s performance. A collection of 14 Color Strike Ms lined the base of the central stage riser, which had a sliding backdrop that the Detroit singer exited the stage through, while 16 other units lined stage left and right risers.
In addition to Lizzo’s performance, the Color Strike M was an integral part of the kits on the new Levels Stage (supplied by SR Production Services), West Holts Stage (DPL Production Lighting), the Lonely Heart Club Stage (Fineline Lighting), and the Sensation Seekers Stage (Enlightened).
The pop music at the Avalon stage was lit by a production design that relied on The Maverick MK2 Wash, Rogue R3 Spot, COLORado Panel Q40 and Ovation E-910FC supplied by Wave Co. Productions; while at The Levels Stage, SR Production Services helped elevate the excitement level with Maverick Storm 4 Profiles hired in from IPS, STRIKE Array 2, Rogue Outcast 1 BeamWash and Rogue Outcast 1L Beam.
The Rogue Outcast 1L Beam featured on the Glasto Latino Stage, where Enlighted specced the Outcast 1L Beam, and Outcast 2X Wash, along with the COLORdash Par H12; as well as at the San Remo Stage, where Wolf Lighting made effective use of the Rogue Outcast 1 BeamWash and Rogue Outcast 1L Beam.
In the Greenpeace area, IPS and Colour Sound Experiment combined to furnish a kit that featured the Maverick Storm 4 Profile, and Strike Array 2. Meanwhile, GLX Productions was essential in creating the Flying Bus Stage rig, where it supplied the Maverick Storm 4 Profile hired through IPS, Rogue Outcast 1L Beam and Strike 1, along with the Color Strike M.
Fineline Lighting also made good use of the company’s products. At the Circus Big Top, the company generate exciting visuals with help from the Maverick Storm 1 Spot and Rogue R2X Wash, while using the Color Strike M and Rogue R2X Wash, as well as the Color Strike M at the Lonely Heart Club Stage. Fineline used the COLORado Q40 panel, along with the Ovation E-910FC at the Acoustic Stage, and Maverick Storm 1 Wash at the Cabaret Stage.
Among the other innovative uses of Chauvet Professional fixture were at the Outside Circus Stage, where Enlightened deployed the Rogue Outcast 2X Wash, and Rogue Outcast 1 BeamWash to project excitement in the air; as well as at The Hive Stage, where Luke Adams Lighting supplied the Maverick Force S Spot, Strike Array 2 and Rogue R2X Wash.
