Denmark - Seelite has supplied lighting, project management and design for The Roskilde Festival's two largest stages - Orange and Arena - for many years, and will return again this year. Metallica, Björk and Iron Maiden will all perform on the Orange stage, for which Seelite will supply the lighting and truss systems, plus two large PA support wings.

The company is also supplying lighting and roofing installations to include more than 35 moving lights and 230 generic lights for The Midtfyns Festival 2003. Among this year's artists are REM, Moloko, Badly Drawn Boy and Swan Lee.

In another recent project, John Svendsen of A/S Corporate Events chose Seelite to provide production design for SimCorp's event, held at Odense Congress Centre in June. The assignment was to plan, decorate and light the hall for a conference followed by a gala dinner party, live bands and a huge theatre workshop for 500 participants.

In addition Seelite have also supplied a Variolift motor hoist system with controller for the Peter Schaufuss ballet Nattevagten. The Advanced Variolift System has the ability to run at variable speeds - a capability which proved invaluable In Nattevagten, where it was employed to move a 10m x 10m cube, a significant part of the set design, at a speed of 1m per minute.
