PSL Supplies Knebworth 01 Dance Event

PSL Concert Touring and PSL Lighting were both contracted to supply site video and lighting for Ministry of Sound at Knebworth 01. Over 15 large screen projectors, 300 lights and several miles of cable went into producing one of the largest dance events of the year, comprising not only the main stage featuring headline act Jamiroquai, but also 12 dance arenas and a cinema tent. The two teams, headed by Scott Russell and Stephanie Jefcoate at PSL Concert Touring and Mick Scullion at PSL Lighting, worked together to bring stunning visual effects using some of the latest equipment recently purchased by both companies. One of the largest portable production units ever used in a festival setting and supplied by PSL controlled the video and five cameras for the main stage and allowed the two 4 x 4 LED screens to each display different effects at the same time, while the recently purchased Barco ELM R12s projectors featured in the Renaissance tent, projecting onto a 7m round inflatable screen last used at the Brit Awards. A 30ft wide screen was also supplied for the cinema tent.

PSL Lighting designed a rig using 6 x 50ft trusses and over 50 moving and generic lights in the Renaissance tent alone, and were involved in the design of all the dance arenas using a WYSIWYG system and most of the lighting equipment in their warehouse! PSL Concert Touring is also providing technical support for the upcoming European tours for Radiohead and Orbital. They will also be touring with Lord of the Dance in Japan and Russia.
