Production substantially ramped up the number of GLP LED fixtures, so that this year the main Orange stage boasted no fewer than 174 impression 90 units and 48 impression XL, presenting the house and incoming LD's with a vast colour palette from which to set up their cues.
There was a major demand on the inventory of Danish based rental company, Comtech, who also supplied the lighting systems for other stages. This included new generation GLP products such as the impression Spot One - with 24 designed into the rig on the Odeon stage alongside 56 impression 90's, while a further 36 impression 90s lit up the Pavilion stage.
The lighting design was again in the experienced hands of Comtech manager Lars Nissen, supported at FOH by Thomas Brockman.
Said GLP director Kasper Gissel, "GLP has enjoyed an increasing involvement in the Roskilde Festival since 2009, when we first started supplying the event to help keep the energy consumption down. This year we provided them with almost 350 impression fixtures.
"One notable change this year was that the Odeon became the first Roskilde stage ever to run 100% on LED fixtures - and they are all from GLP."
