Festival Production

Complete Festival Production

Successful festivals rely on much more than individual pieces of equipment. Every technical element needs to work together, from the stage structure and sound coverage to lighting, power distribution, artist requirements and show-day operation.

Just Smile provides complete festival production packages designed around your venue, audience, programme and technical requirements.

Our festival production services include:

• Outdoor festival stages
• Professional sound systems and line arrays
• Festival lighting and lighting design
• LED screens and live video production
• Event power distribution
• Rigging and truss structures
• Backline and monitor systems
• Front-of-house and stage equipment
• On-site technicians and engineers
• Technical production planning
• Stage and artist technical support
• Installation, show operation and de-rig

Whether you require a complete technical production or support with specific production elements, our team will develop a coordinated solution for your event.

Festival Stage Hire

Create a professional focal point for your festival with an outdoor stage designed around your performers, audience and site.

We provide robust festival staging complete with roof structures, steps, performance areas and integrated positions for sound and lighting equipment. Our team can also incorporate additional truss, lighting structures, rolling risers and other technical features where required.

Every stage is specified according to the event’s production requirements, artist arrangements and available space, providing a safe and impressive environment for live bands, DJs, tribute acts, speakers and performers.

Festival Sound Production

Exceptional festival sound needs to deliver clarity, power and consistent coverage across the audience area.

Our experienced audio team supplies professional festival sound systems from leading manufacturers including RCF, D&B, NEXO and Allen & Heath. Systems are designed around the size and layout of the site, helping every member of the audience enjoy clear, balanced sound.

Festival audio production can include:

• Professional PA and line-array systems
• Front-of-house mixing consoles
• Monitor wedges and in-ear monitoring
• Wireless and wired microphones
• Stage boxes and signal distribution
• Artist and band changeovers
• Experienced sound engineers
• Technical support throughout the event

From live bands and tribute acts to DJs and headline performers, we can accommodate varied programmes and technical riders while keeping changeovers organised and efficient.

Festival Lighting Production

Professional festival lighting transforms a functional stage into a complete live experience.

Our lighting technicians combine moving heads, wash lighting, atmospheric effects and more to create an engaging visual production that complements the music and energy of the event.

Lighting is operated using professional control systems, including Avolites consoles, allowing our team to create dynamic looks for individual artists and performances.

We can also illuminate entrances, audience areas, structures and surrounding features to create a consistent atmosphere throughout the event site.

LED Screens and Live Video

LED screens and live video production help audiences stay connected to the action while creating additional opportunities for event branding, sponsor content and visual effects.

Depending on your production requirements, we can provide:

• Outdoor LED screens
• Live camera feeds
• Multi-camera filming
• Live video switching
• Artist visuals and playback
• Sponsor and event branding
• Stage-side screens
• Professional video distribution

Our video solutions can be integrated with the stage, lighting and sound production to create one cohesive visual experience.

Event Power and Technical Infrastructure

Outdoor events require carefully planned and professionally distributed power.

Our team can provide power distribution for stages, sound systems, lighting, screens and other production areas. Power requirements are assessed during the planning process to ensure equipment is supplied safely and reliably throughout the event.

We also coordinate the technical infrastructure surrounding the production, including cable routes, rigging positions, front-of-house requirements and the placement of production equipment across the site.

Experienced Festival Technicians

The quality of a festival depends on the people operating the equipment as much as the equipment itself.

Our experienced production team can include sound engineers, lighting technicians, video technicians, stage technicians and other specialist crew according to the scale and complexity of your event.

From installation and soundchecks to artist changeovers and live show operation, our crew works together to deliver a professional and dependable production.
