New festival stage incoming. ⬆️👆☝️Our goal this year is to create immersive stages that are much like the awesome stages of some of the best festivals around the world but smaller and a fraction of the costs. This will allow clients more access to more creative event designs and shows. #festival #festivalstage #stage #tomorrowland #edc

What is a Festival Stage Design?

A typical festival stage design is usually associated with music festivals, often large, with diverse theming and dynamic lighting.

They will often feature elements like LED screens, rigs and unique structures. As a team, we want to bring all the vibrance of these stages to your private and corporate festivals, just in a more compact yet powerful way.

Why Have a Festival Style Stage at Your Corporate Event?

Having a stage at your corporate event creates a central focal point for your guests, without it your space may lack flow and look sparse.

Not only this, but staging is extremely important to allow performers and presenters to engage with your crowd effectively. These designated spaces are essential to telling your audience what your event is about and why they should pay attention.


Creating the Magic of Iconic Festivals on a Smaller Scale

Stages at famous festivals like EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) and Glastonbury are at the forefront of immersive design, with stunning visuals, ambient and dramatic lighting, unbelievable special effects, props and themes that are awe-inspiring.

Elements that inspire us in designing your festival style stages

Structure & Scale

Creating a sense of different levels, heights and presence on a stage doesn’t mean massive structures. Our creative set and stage design team can create the illusion of size with clever backdrops, set design and smaller podiums that adapt to your space. We use creative solutions to enhance your event space, tailoring the stage to this.

Spectacle

Smaller doesn’t mean any less impact, a festival-style stage at your corporate event or summer party will still exude the vibe of legendary stages with bespoke theming such as neon-lit props, tailor-made structures and stand-out styling.

Lighting, Sound & Visual Effects

Depending on your budget we can add awesome visual effects to your stage design such as laser shows, pyrotechnics and smoke effects, alongside projection mapping, adding energy and drama to your event. We know just how important lighting and sound are when it comes to creating a festival atmosphere.

EDC stages embrace fantasy and sci-fi themes, and so do we! Whether you are looking for a dystopic underground vibe or an enchanted garden feel we create unique summer stages to match your theme. Not only this, but we can create a multi-sensory experience through incorporating real-time visuals and sound that respond to your crowd.

  • You are in creative control; we design and create your event stage around you, so it matches your vision perfectly.

The Process: Small Festival Stage Creation
