01The brief
We Out Here is a four-day, 25,000-capacity music festival in Dorset, directed and curated by Gilles Peterson. Fifteen stages and 22 technical areas run at once, from the main stage and woodland dance floors to a radio studio and talks tents, each with its own technical requirements.
02Our responsibility
Soundfangled is the festival's production management company, now in its fourth year. We coordinate staging, audio, lighting, video and DJ infrastructure across the site, advance the artists' technical requirements, and manage more than 400 people, including 60 direct staff.
