OUTDOOR STAGING
Celebrating its 35th year supplying stages to the music industr y, Serious
Stages continues to push boundaries, introducing new products and
adapting the company’s offering.
The most notable new product this year is the MegaNova building.
Designed and constructed at Serious Stages’ UK headquarters in Wells,
large-scale engineering allows a 100m span and 30m heigh relocatable
venue, with modular component steel elements enabling clients to go to
any length or configuration.
The weight loading capacity of 10,000kg per arch, coupled with acoustic
and thermal walling, means these are ideal temporar y arena venues,
while ancillar y green-screen products helped the first of these buildings
produced by Serious to be used as temporar y film studios. The smaller 50m
span Space building was used once again this summer at Parklife for the
festival’s Warehouse venue.
Elsewhere, Serious introduced a new steel beam-based front-of-house
tower at Download Festival, which incorporated VIP viewing capacity on
the third and fourth levels. The cur ved screen beams on the tower’s rear
wall were again designed and manufactured in-house, in line with clientFestival Republic’s request to introduce more immersive cur ved screen
viewing experiences for the audience. A similar cur ved beam system was
also installed at Wireless, Latitude and Reading festivals to link the main
stage screens to the goalposts flanking the Serious TZ Tower stage, to
create a continuous spectacular screen viewing vista for fans.
