This year production lighting designer Sune Verdier used 40 x Robe BMFL Spots at the heart of the rig at the 17,000 capacity Arena Stage at Roskilde Festival, which he co-ordinated for the fifth year. The Spots were supplied - together with other lighting including 24 x Robe Pointes - by Danish rental company Comtech, based in Copenhagen which has invested heavily in Robe over the last year. The Arena accommodated a wide variety of bands over the four day festival, with a total of 21 acts, many bringing their own floor packages.

 

The main rig was based on ten individual trusses, all on an automation system which could move them into different positions, so visiting LDs were offered - in advance - the choice of eight different trussing configurations to be the backbone of their rigs. Thirty-four of the 40 BMFLs were in the air on the trusses and the other six on the deck. Upstage there were 12 x 6 metre sections of LED screen and the Pointes were on the side trusses.

 

Verdier’s operating team consisted of Christian Olsson, Morten Elkjær and Frederik Heitmann. Anders Svendsen assisted with all the advancing, and during the festival headed the lighting team onstage. Of the 21 bands in 2016, 17 brought their own LDs and lighting directors/operators, so the other four were lit by Verdier and the team.
