From small outdoor stages to massive weekend festivals, projection mapping is changing how audiences experience live music. Rather than relying solely on LED walls or lighting rigs, festivals now use projection mapping to wrap structures, tents, and even the ground in dynamic visuals that sync to the beat.

If you’ve ever watched shows with Coachella’s art installations or Arcadia’s Dragonfly Stage, you’ve seen the effect: total immersion through light and motion.

Immersive Visuals, Limitless Surfaces

Projection mapping works anywhere — fabric, wood, metal, or concrete. At festivals, this means turning ordinary materials into extraordinary visual canvases:
• Fabric projections: Translucent materials can glow when lit from front or back, offering a smooth and bright experience.
• Plywood structures: Painted white and paired with short-throw projectors, they create 3D stage sculptures
• Ground projections: Using truss-mounted systems we can project downward onto floors or terrain for interactive visuals.

Temporary Builds, Professional Results

Our projection towers and weatherproof enclosures are designed for fast deployment and rugged outdoor use — perfect for touring or multi-day events.

For content, event teams often integrate with Resolume Arena or TouchDesigner for real-time visuals synced to music BPM. Combined with our projection systems, the result is pure sensory energy.

Why Festivals Love Projection Mapping

• Lower cost and weight than LED walls
• Works on irregular surfaces or moving fabric
• Customizable visuals for each act or theme
• Rapid setup with portable truss towers
• Environmentally friendly — no physical signage waste

Industry groups like Live Design Online have noted that projection mapping continues to grow as a preferred alternative to LED for touring shows, citing flexibility, scalability, and sustainability.
