Star Orbit on the Circuit
The first Star Orbit stage hired to the Rockingham Race track over the May bank holiday also marked the first of the venue’s summer series ‘Days of Thunder’ shows. 20,000 visitors enjoyed an exciting day’s racing before being entertained by Freefaller, D’Side and V, with Blue closing the evening.
Since opening the UK’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit in May 2001, with grandstand seating and modern facilities for visitors’ comfort, Rockingham has encouraged family audiences to visit the state-of-the art venue by adding fun fairs and pop concerts to the racing days.
Rockingham’s Jeff Carter commented: “Last year we hosted several successful concerts with Star Mobile and this year we have bought in Star Orbit with their unique dome shaped stage, which looks great and the artists and crew have loved.”
Star Orbit Director Paul Ladd managed the installation of the 15m stage, along with the PA and screen supports flanking the characteristic curves of the Star Orbit. He commented: “We are delighted to be working with the Rockingham management to establish this as a concert venue with facilities that any promoter will be happy with. It’s been great getting on board with Star Events Group over recent months, the number of bookings this summer is phenomenal and I’m delighted that we are now fully operational.”
Star Orbit’s stage will be used for the series of the ‘Day’s of Thunder’ monthly events running throughout the summer of 2004, with acts including Lemar, and Jamelia among those appearing at Rockingham.
