This year Serious Stages provided the staging, PA masts, goalposts and other structures for the Glastonbury Festival, with over 20 structures in all areas of the festival including, Pyramid, Other, Jazz World, Park, Dance, John Peel and Trash City. The choice of roofed stagethis year was the company’s ever evolving ‘Supernova’ system with the 16m (Park), 19m (Jazz World) which is a new system this year, and 22m (Other) all on view. The evolving nature of the ‘Supernova’ was demonstrated as the stages were customised to each of their requirements with the Park stage being the first to benefit from an increased roof depth and improved covering using the same scaffold deck. The Other stage featured a split third bay to accommodate an additional arch, to give extra support for the sound and lighting rigs required for a festival of this size. Both the Jazz and Other stages had aluminium D-ends to provide production with a change over area which suited their needs. The arch variant of the 22m ‘Supernova’, with itstrademark white sheets has also been seen on the festival circuit this year,making its first appearance at the Hove Festivalen in Norway, before heading toLatitude and The Big Chill. The ‘Supernova’ system is also being used at anumber of other festivals this summer including Latitude, Lovebox, Creamfieldsand Womad, as well as on the Forestry Commission and IML Concerts tours. In addition to our UK work, Serious Stages has partnerships with companies in Australia, Dubai and Spain. As part of these partnerships, we have put up our 20m Space Roof for Metallica in Barcelona this year, and will be heading out to Libya in August to provide a structure for the 40thAnniversary celebrations that are taking place in Tripoli. |
