Elation LED Color for Tripolee Stage at Electric Forest Festival

Elation Professional Cuepix Panel LED matrices and Elation Colour Chorus LED batten wash lights were used by lighting designer Bobby Grey to light the Tripolee Stage at the Electric Forest Festival June 25-28 in Rothbury, Michigan.

Stage design for this year’s Tripolee Stage was by Heather Shaw and her team at Vita Motus Design Studio. Event co-producers Madison House and Insomniac decided to make something more out of this year’s Tripolee Stage and asked Vita Motus to bring it into a more music appropriate space while maintaining the overall look and feel of the Electric Forest setting.

Vita Motus’s Future Present stage concept imagined an ancient relic built on earth by future generations erected 1000s of years in the past, a set design built around the stage line. LD Bobby Grey took that industrial robotic set design, complete with a profile head at each end, and gave it life through dynamic lighting. “I had used both the Cuepix Panels and the Colour Chorus on the Mojave Stage at Coachella this year,” he said, “so I knew what they could do and thought they would work well on the Tripolee Stage at this year’s Electric Forest.”

Grey used 30 Colour Chorus 72 battens for colorful scenic uplighting, also around the DJ Booth, as well as front lighting of the set. He also ran pixel-mapped effects across them for cohesive visual looks with the rest of the lighting and video. In a ground package on each side of the DJ booth were vertical stacks of full-color Cuepix Panels (32 total) which were used as an effect extension of the video wall.

Grey used Madrix control software to integrate the stage’s audio, video and lighting, including the Cuepix Panels. Lighting vendor for the event was Premiere Global Production of Nashville.
