01The brief
Bounce and Groove was a new three-day, multi-genre festival in Dorset in July 2024, with a main stage, DJ stage, cabaret tent and family area. Like many festivals that year, ticket sales arrived late and below forecast, so the production had to be reshaped as the event approached.
02Our responsibility
Soundfangled led technical production and site management, and worked with the festival team as production consultants: planning the site, coordinating suppliers and crew, and restructuring the production budget as the picture changed.

Outcome
Production
A new festival, brought in at break-even.
Soundfangled restructured the production budget as plans changed, and the festival broke even instead of losing an estimated £30,000 or more. The build, live weekend and breakdown all ran to plan.
