Currently enjoying a resurgence of popularity, summer music festivals are alive and well in both Europe and North America. Six days of sunshine and a great atmosphere in one of Europe’s most beautiful countries is just the ‘cure’ for those summertime blues. On 25 July, British rock legends The Cure played before a vast audience at Switzerland’s largest open-air festival, the Paléo Festival Nyon. Gaining in popularity, the Paléo Festival is attracting some of the biggest names in music.

Lighting rental company Cameleon supplied a full Martin rig consisting of eight MAC 2000 Performances, 16 MAC 2000s, 14 MAC 600s and 18 RoboColor Pro 400s for the performance with a lighting and stage design completed by company Sérafin Lampion. As one of the headlining acts, The Cure’s performance on The Grande Scene was a much-anticipated event with a large part of the huge 100,000+ festival crowd in attendance.

Celebrating its 27th year, the Paléo Festival is a unique blend of fair and concert that has become a must stop on the European summer music calendar. The six-day festival saw a number of top regional as well as international acts including James Brown, Indochine, Supertramp, The Pet Shop Boys and many others.
