Big, bigger …“Rock in Rio” – grandMA Celebrated Five Days of Music in Lisboa
For the second time the “Rock in Rio” Festival took place in Lisboa. About 360,000 people came to the venue in Bela Vista Park during five days of music – 14 hours a day it was party time. The festival ground was therefore called the City of Rock. All the while two grandMA full-size and a NSP worked in the background to control the lighting of the main stage.
On the ‘World Stage’ some of the most well-known bands and artists of our time performed their shows, amongst others: Shakira, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Carlos Santana, Roger Waters, Jamiroquai and Sting. All in all, the World Stage measured 80 x 40 metres. For its scenario it used 15 kilometre of chain, 6,000 pieces for the spatial interlacing and 850 square metres of canvas.
Lighting designer Danny Nolan had the task of designing a show for each artist. The event was supported by NAN Som e Ilumincao Lda., MA Lighting’s distributor in Portugal.
“Rock in Rio” will return to Lisboa in 2008.
