In a remarkable achievement, Acorn scooped its third consecutive award for BEST STAGE at the recent Festival Supplier Awards.
The BEST STAGE award recognises Acorn as the top stage supplier in the UK for its unique products and services, which enable organisations to deliver world-class events.
Commenting on the award, the FSA19 judges said “it is the finish and quality of the structures, plus attention to detail from pitch to delivery, that are unique qualities to Acorn making them a clear winner in this category”.
Said MD Andy Nutter “Winning this award for the third year running confirms the continued strength of our team to develop and engineer unique temporary structures which meet challenging briefs and diverse production specifications. In an ever-evolving industry, we continue to invest in new products and we are dedicated to developing unique concepts to meet growing demand and push the boundaries of structural design.
Creamfields has unveiled SILO – an “innovative and cutting-edge” 360 degree, stadium-like structure and the first of three new arenas set for this year’s event.
Working closely with Acorn, the new structure has taken 12 months of planning with the intention of creating a “fully immersive structure that is dark, intimate and completely different to any other festival stage”. The resulting structure is a cylindrical chamber, with a bespoke sound and light experience designed to envelope the audience, offering an immersive 360 experience that will “prove to be an all-round assault on the senses”.
The SILO structure will include a 40-metre wide circular dancefloor with towering walls, a vast cylindrical space and tiered viewing platforms, giving festivalgoers a unique aerial view. Despite a 360 wall of sound and custom video, 140 hybrid strobes and 80 moving lights, the show design will be “simple: dark, underground and immersive offering a truly unique audio, visual experience”.
