Kelis, Tinchy Stryder and Simian Mobile Disco were among the names whose stage sets incorporated LiteConsoles. On the Dance Village East stage, Kelis performed with three DJs all using single LiteConsoles. Tinchy Stryder used a single console on the Pyramid stage, while on the Dance Village West stage, double consoles were used by Boys Noize, Nick Warren and Dubfire. On the Glade stage, Way Out West and System 7 also used double format consoles.
LiteConsole's clear presence at this festival heralded the launch of the product becoming commercially available in a modular format. LiteConsole modules comprise just four primary pieces of high-grade easy-to-connect aluminium sections and are designed to house a 50" plasma screen, although this open space may also be utilised to feature a back-lit corporate logo, LED panels, starcloth, or any other form of corporate messaging.
The sets by Nick Warren and Dubfire utilised plasma screens to great effect. According to Nick Warren, "I used the LiteConsole in Australia earlier this year when I was on tour with Way Out West, and loved it. At Glastonbury, I was able to incorporate my own video content into the console. I'm sure it looked as amazing as it felt."
