The action-packed line up included Madonna, The Kooks, Usher, The Fratellis, Scouting For Girls, Goldfrapp, The Enemy, The Zutons, The Wombats and many more. The event was project managed for XL by Des Fallon and crew chiefed on site by Carl Martin.
The main stage visuals were designed by Paul Normandale, for which XL supplied 40sq.m of Lighthouse R16 LED screen, rigged left and right of the stage, plus 24 panels of Martin LC2140 screen onstage.
Two delay projection screens inside the tent were fed by two Barco R12 projectors. For the outside delay video, XL supplied one of their Barco B10 trailer-based LED screen systems.
The XL package also included a three Sony D50 camera system for the main stage, which was directed by Phil Woodhead, and a large playback and DVE rig consisting of a GV Kayak mixer, hard drives, Digi Beta and Magic DVE machines. This was engineered by Alan Yates.
