- Outdoor festival main stage
- Suggested viewing
- 15–60 m from the field
- Service route
- Strip swap from the stage-left rail
The challenge
The stage needed a large backdrop that could be rigged inside a short changeover window, survive an outdoor site and still let the band and stage entrances read through it.
Why this format
The curtain was chosen over a solid LED wall for weight, rolling transport and transparency around the performer entrance.
- Pixel pitch
- P37.5
- Transparency
- 63%
- Brightness
- 1,800 nits
- IP rating
- IP65
The approach
- Set the curtain around the main-stage frame and artist entrance.
- Kept the lower stage access open so crew and performers could cross the line.
- Built content as large colour fields for viewing across the field.
Result
The stage reads across the field while the band and entrances stay visible. The curtain rolls into the stage package and moves with the festival.
Integration plan
The physical interface between the screen, the building and the service route decides how the installation performs after handover.
- Top rail tied to the festival stage truss.
- Waterproof head and tail connectors used for the outdoor position.
- Spare strips and driver sections held at stage left.
Content and operation
A screen is only as useful as its daily routine. Content rhythm, brightness and spare parts are agreed before the first playlist goes live.
- Daylight scene runs at low output; night cues move through the headline sets.
- Weather plan powers down the lower sections and rolls them clear.
- Content avoids fine detail that would be lost at field distance.
What this study shows
Transparency matters most when the stage has to work at scale.
Open lower sections help crew and performer access.
Waterproof connectors belong in the outdoor plan, not in the addendum.
Installation notes
The mounting and service route were agreed before the screen layout was fixed.
XLC Curtain Series specifications- Hang from standard truss or a top rail; panels connect with fast locks without tools
- Curve the strips into arcs, circles or waves before final tensioning
- Use the waterproof head and tail connectors for outdoor positions
- Label strips and driver sections by show or facade zone
