Festivals & public 2025

We rethought a two-stage festival around a circulation design that made the site itself part of the programme.

64,000 VISITORS
2 DAYS

Challenge

To stop queues and crowding from becoming part of the experience on a site running two stages at once.

Idea

Make the programme a route walked through the site, not a list.

Experience

Transitions between stages were carried by three corridors marked in light and sound.

Execution

Live density monitoring, a 40-person field team, a stage-change plan run to the minute.

Impact

Average dwell time of 5.5 hours; a 40% rise in second-day ticket sales.
