Allround invests in Robe for festival season  

Allround Lyd & Lys (Light & Sound), based in Struer, Denmark, purchased Robe iForte LTX Follow Spots ahead of their busy 2024 festival season, so - in conjunction with their existing RoboSpot systems - going forward, they could offer follow spotting facilities with their festival stage lighting packages.

Head of lighting, Martin Breinholt (pictured), and his team designed a quick-to-rig festival production lighting set up based on Robe LEDBeam 350s and Esprites for over-stage lighting, with the fixtures installed in pre-rigged trussing sections. These were deployed on a string of festivals around the country throughout summer.

Eight units of each fixture type were rigged to a standard run of PRT so the lighting rigs could easily be scaled up or down comprising one to three or more pieces of truss, depending on the size of the festival stage. The standard medium sized rig would involve a two-truss section set up with sixteen Esprites and sixteen LEDBeam 350s.

“Apart from making the operation smoother, it also makes the process more streamlined for visiting LDs and their bands”, says Breinholt. “They know this as our standard festival format and therefore what to expect onstage, and they can program and tweak their showfiles accordingly.” Most bands appearing throughout the summer season also toured with their own specials/floor packages to augment the overhead system.

Allround purchased its first Esprites in 2021 together with the initial LEDBeam 350s, and then added more of both fixtures. Last year, the company invested in another Robe Profile, the Painte. Last summer, twelve of their 24 Paintes were on duty on the festival circuit, while the other twelve were out on various tours.
