Nick Jevons Immerses at Terminal V Festival with CHAUVET Professional
At its best, a design of any kind, isn’t just something to be seen and felt; ideally, it should also be something to interact with. The organizers of the popular Terminal V Festival, must have had this vision bubbling up in their collective imagination when they laid out plans for 10th edition of their annual event, which took place this April at the Royal Highland Centre. Taking their V2 Stage, a mainstay of the festival since 2017, they totally revamped it, turning it into a crisply angled 360-stage, making it “unrecognizable from years gone by.” The team at 19MIL, which designed the V2 Stage and the adjacent Terminal Stage were keenly aware of how important lighting would be to making both stages come alive in ways that would enhance the level of audience interaction with the impressive lineup of EDM artists appearing on them over the course of the weekend festival.Read More »Nick Jevons Immerses at Terminal V Festival with CHAUVET Professional
