Coachella

Another Coachella on the books! It felt so good to be back on the polo fields, kicking off festival season. This year, PRG provided all lighting and video for the Main Stage, in addition to supplemental gear for artists including Harry Styles, Flume, Doja Cat, Swedish House Mafia, Lil Baby, Billie Eilish, IDLES, Stromae, Fred Again and Daniel Caesar.

For the massive main stage, 1,180 active tiles of Roe Carbon CB8, encased in our proprietary SpaceFrame® were controlled from a mobile video truck, souped up with Disguise vx2, gx2c and vx4 media servers, 2x MA2 Lite consoles for server control and programming, and three Christie x80 Spyders for primary and backup show control and truck video wall control. For signal routing, Extron XTP II multi format routers and Reidel MediorNets were employed.

The Main Stage lighting order was comprised of more than 250 lighting fixtures including PRG's Best Boy Spot HPs and GroundControl Followspots.
