Ayrton’s Cobra and Khamsin fixtures picked for Fairground Festival in Hannover

The second iteration of the Fairground Festival in Hannover - already classed as Germany’s third-largest indoor festival - took place in the cavernous spaces of the Hannover exhibition halls hosting 40,000 party-goers over two days. A line up of international EDM acts included headliners Paul Kalkbrenner, Ben Böhmer, Jan Blomqvist, Stephan Bodzin, ArtBat, Camelphat and Charlotte de Witt.

Fairground Festival was supported by Visualprime, a Cologne-based motion design and show development studio. Visualprime lighting designer Tobias Reinartz employed over 100 Ayrton fixtures to inject dynamism, colour and linear arrays across the stage and dance floor, choosing 84 laser-sourced Cobra fixtures rigged overhead throughout the hall for dramatic beam effects, and twenty Ayrton Khamsin fixtures as a floor package for the acts.

“I chose Khamsin for the floor package as we needed a bright spot with gobos that do nice aerial looks even in narrow beam angles”, explains Reinartz. “We were able to create multiple beam looks throughout the whole 120 m x 120 m arena from a height of approximately 8 m. They looked amazing en masse, and despite the throw distances, we were never in danger of running out of power, no matter what ideas we put into being.”

The Cobra and Khamsin fixtures were supplied by Czech-based High Light Touring. The next Fairground Festival will return to Hannover in November 2024.
