Max SteventonTomorrowland festival has seen Neptunus unveil its new Triton stage structure built on floating pontoons.
Serving as the Belgian event’s new-look Crystal Garden Stage, the 20-metre-high structure replaced the previous Salacia structure at the festival site in Boom.
The event, which took place over the weekends of 17-10 July and 24-26 July, regularly attracts around 400,000 people from more than 200 countries, with hundreds of acts performing. Headliners this year included Calvin Harris, David Guetta and Martin Garrix.
Triton measures 40m by 50m and was designed with a clear span and high hanging load capacity to support lighting, audio, video, scenery and production equipment.
The structure is the latest project to stem from the partnership between Tomorrowland and Neptunus, which began in 2013. Neptunus has built a range of temporary structures for the festival, with several concepts later becoming part of Neptunus’ wider product portfolio.
The company supplied other temporary structures across the Tomorrowland site this year, including a three-storey Evolution structure next to the Mainstage for VIP hospitality and a 50m by 70m Evolution structure housing the Freedom Stage.
Previous collaborations between the two organisations include the Poseidon structure and Salacia, which served as the Crystal Garden Stage for several years.
Neptunus director Dorrie Eilers said, “Tomorrowland is much more than a client to us. For thirteen years, our partnership has challenged both organisations to think beyond existing solutions.
“Triton is a perfect example of that ambition. The structure combines bold design with exceptional technical performance and demonstrates how temporary architecture is becoming an increasingly important part of the overall event experience.”
