Various ChamSys consoles in action at Glastonbury 2023

At the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, various ChamSys consoles powered a wide variety of shows on over a dozen sites, from the Pyramid Stage, where Jason Hyne used the MagicQ MQ250M Stadium console for Cat Stevens, blending soft washes with retro video images; to the Funkingham Palace, where David Howard used his MagicQ MQ250M to support the DJ performances.

For Kelis’ performance on the West Holts Stage, Sam Campbell used his MQ250M (supplied by DPL Production Lighting) to conjure up a wide array of looks for the New York singer, sashaying multi-color washes across the deck in sync with her hit “Got Your Money”, and moving to more in-your-face strobing looks for her performance of “Caught Out There”.

Another MQ250M supported a variety of performances at the Lonely Hearts Club stage. Fineline Lighting, which provided the console there, also furnished MagicQ MQ500M units for the Acoustic Stage, as well as the Circus Big Top.

GLX Productions also provided an MQ500M to the Flying Bus stage.   Other ChamSys consoles used at Glastonbury 2023 were the MagicQ MQ50 compact console, used with a wing at the Glasto Latino stage, which was supplied by Mass Affect Lighting and Enlightened, and the MagicQ MQ70 compact console, used by Phil Dawkins at the Greenpeace Tree Stage in collaboration with set designer Belinda Best.

The MQ80 also contributed to the visual feast, being used at three venues: The Hive Stage (provided by Luke Adams Lighting), The Truth Stage (PF Events), and Left Feld (SWG Events).

Like ChamSys, designer/programmer Ed Warren seemed to be everywhere at Glastonbury. In addition to lighting a diverse group of musical acts at the festival, Warren was at Carhenge, a mystical, dreamlike space where old, abandoned vehicles were arranged in vertical formations reminiscent of Stonehenge. Working with his MQ80, he mixed beams and a variety of redolent colours to deepen the transcendent vibe at Carhenge.
