Pierre E. Roy molds looks to fit thirteen Rock La Cauze acts with Chauvet

Lighting designer Pierre E. Roy ran the shows for thirteen of the seventeen bands that performed at three-day Rock La Cauze 2026 outdoor festival, a fundraising event that took place at the spacious Parc Terre-des-Jeunes in Victoriaville, Canada.

Roy set up the festival rig and ran it for all but four of the festival’s headliners (Killswitch Engage, I Prevail, Machine Head, and Hollywood Undead brought visiting LDs), lending his skills to bands including August Burns Red, as well as a mix of punk, rock, metalcore, alternative rock, and local Québécois acts. The rig featured Chauvet Professional fixtures supplied by DGM Sonorisation in Victoriaville.

Roy polled the visiting LDs before setting up his festival rig. “I reviewed each band’s technical rider to get as close as possible to their own touring rig”, he explains. “I also designed the rig so it could be cloned easily. This way, when the visiting LDs arrived it was quick and easy for them to adapt their show. Time is a major factor at a festival since we don’t have much time between bands.”

“As far as the fixtures I selected go, the Chauvet Maverick MK1 Hybrids, Colorado Solos, Color Strike Ms, and Rogue Outcast 1s in FOH are all well-known fixtures among LDs”, continues Roy. “This means that there weren’t many concerns or surprises.”

Fixture placement was a key part of Roy’s plan to create a versatile rig. He arranged his twenty-two Maverick MK1 units in pairs across the rig and let them fill a variety of roles. His Colorado units were placed SL and SR to be used for side washing. The Color Strike Ms in the rig were flow four-each on three stage trusses to provide crowd lighting, side lighting and specials.
