Inspirational Stages

I began by looking at stages that are phenomenal and that I can really draw inspiration from. Whether it may be from their obscure shape, the way they are lit, the visuals that are projected or from their sheer size. Amongst them are the Rolling Stones, U2, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and Justice.

 The sheer size of the Rolling Stones stage makes it so epic

With the U2 stage there are a lot of things that  stand out. They broke boundaries with the stage being 360 degrees, having to be lit and projected form all directions. The shape of the stage, with 4 legs and 360 degree screen had never been seen before.

With the Chemical brothers their performance consists of massive LED screens with Characters and visuals constantly changing with the music tempo. No massive obscure looking stages needed. Its the audio visuals that make the show.

 Having seen Daft Punk, it is the most memorable event to date. The pyramid stage with visuals constantly changing with the tempo of the music coupled with the LED lights to the side and back. Made an amazing show.

 I really like the Justice set. They have chosen a sound wall of Marshall speakers, classically used for rock music, not electronica. This, with stagnant array of wires and the glowing cross make a cool set from which to preform from.

Again this is Chemical Brothers. The way the stage is lit, makes it look like a piece of art.
