Festival stage with light show – festival and tour production by photon

EVENTS & OCCASIONS · photon EVENT TECHNOLOGY

Festival and tour production – our home discipline

Festivals and tours are the core of photon: we equip stages, fly line arrays, programme light shows and provide crews who know how a festival day runs – from the village stage to productions for tens of thousands of visitors. Since 1995.

For promoters we take on the complete technical production: stage and rigging, PA matched to the site, lighting for every slot, stage management and changeover planning. For bands and productions we pack tour packages as dry hire: equipment in touring quality, case-ready, with spares in the truck.

Previsualisation, design execution and logistics are part of it – we have run productions from Halle Münsterland to the LANXESS arena.

Small stage & local open air

LED wall, compact PA or stage package for town and club festivals: real projects from about €2,000.

Festival production

Complete stage productions with PA, lighting and crew for mid-size festivals start from €4,000 per event day at photon, based on real project experience.

Tour & large festival packages

Equipment packages and productions for entire festival summers or tours start from €23,000 – including logistics, spare equipment and, on request, crew for all dates.

From our real festival and tour projects: small open-air stages and LED walls from about €2,000, complete festival productions from €4,000, large tour and festival-summer packages from €23,000. Every production is quoted individually by site, line-up and duration – after your enquiry you receive a fixed quote. Individual prices are public in the rental shop.

Send us the date(s), site or route, expected audience and the line-up or rider via our enquiry form. We plan production, logistics and crew, align with the authorities' requirements and deliver everything from setup to the last teardown day from a single source.

Tip: sketch your festival in our event configurator first (German interface) – a few minutes produce a first visual of stage, light and sound, the perfect basis for your enquiry.
