DAVE - READING & LEEDS FESTIVAL 2026
The Next Stage were pleased to support Dave with his Reading and Leeds Festival shows.
Over 200 square metres of gold vinyl was used across the different elements of the set creating multiple surfaces to interact with the creative lighting and video content.
Six rows of flown fascia panels either side of the stage were deployed to frame Dave and his musicians on the central band riser.
The fascia panels travelled on trusses with integrated lighting and removable wheels to make for a quick deployment of the system during the short changeover time between the festival's acts.
The touring set carpenters rehearsed the deployment and strike of the set to ensure a slick and safe transition from trucks to stage and back again.
All elements supplied by The Next Stage were designed and built to work with this quick, seamless deployment.
