Cannes Lions Festival
Spotify has had its place at the international Cannes Lions Festival for years. The task for 2023 was to design versatile areas such as a bar, a lounge, a podcast studio, a daytime stage and a large main stage. We were not only responsible for planning the structures, but also realised the construction, conversion and dismantling on site.
With 7 days and 9 nights of set-up and dismantling, we worked with our partners to realise this huge project with an event area of around 1500 square metres.
As the project was exposed to special conditions such as sand, heat and strong sea winds on the beach in mid-June, we planned, calculated and assembled all structural components as special constructions.
For example, the superstructure of a wooden terrace over the entire beach section or the planning and use of 12 huge support-free sails, which were tensioned in a big steel structure and could also be flexibly (dis)assembled.
During the day, we were able to use the sails to create the necessary shaded areas and in the evening, by dismantling the sails and the Daytime Stage, we were able to create space for concerts by well-known artists such as Florence and the Machine or the Foo Fighters.
