Showcasing and live streaming 42 bands over the course of the four-day festival, taking things to the next level this year was paramount in support of the brand repositioning and the launch of the new Pandora Premium service. New for 2017, our team had just four days to build out the entire three city-block footprint. The Stoelt team was challenged to not only produce a flawless event and stage production, but also design, develop and execute five sponsor activations for FedEx, Ashley Home Store, Clorox, Simple Mobile, McDonald's and a roaming activation for MGM National Harbor. Going even bigger this year Stoelt erected a 4' x 60' 4mm LED marquee on the front of the venue featuring custom content developed for each day featuring the daily line-up of artists, social media handles, and the live stream URL. Once again illuminating the streetscape as day turned to night, over 140' of LED lighting was cantilevered 12' over the sidewalk on 6th Street that created the event parameter. Over 20 massive UV led fixtures bathed the exterior of the venue, dye sublimated cloth banners and the new 100' long by 12' high branded scrims. Suspended from the west wall, a custom 8' square neon sign with integrated 4mm LED screens and LED lighting faced the Waller Creek. Streaming live to the Pandora platform, our teams had just 20 minutes for changeover between bands. Lastly, the new and expansive 14,000 sq ft artist village featured custom built Edison walls, content capture trailer, outdoor lounge, and two hospitality tents.

New for 2017, guests snapped photos in front of the custom, co-branded living wall that donned a guided cow head with gold horns. The event took on a fresh new look this year with a stark white circular bar and umbrellas that were accented by decor and graphics with pops of deep saturated colors. Guest cooled off with misters at the entrance as they waited to check into the event with an abundance of festival essentials on the grounds.

Custom screen printing, cotton candy, towels, corn hole, giant chess, ping pong tables and over 100 inflatables in the pool proved to be the perfect confection for this Saturday afternoon kickoff party
Taking on a $500-million renovation is no small undertaking. Neither is making the announcement for such a project. The Taubman Company once again turned to Stoelt Productions to conceive, design and execute the renovation announcement event that would transcend the traditional press event format and convey the essence and design of the newly positioned luxury-brand mall. Using 3D architectural renderings and imagery as inspiration, Stoelt designed the stage to emulate the brand new LED back-lit, perforated, platinum bands that will line the dramatic and open skylights throughout the shopping center. Towering nine-stories above the streets of L.A., the project began with the installation of a London Bridge type truss on the roof to support the 4,000 lb. LED wall and also the 60' truss. With the outdoor infrastructure in place, over the next six days, crews worked overnight shifts to build the stage and set, concealing the existing and functioning restaurant. Utilizing the entire 7,000 sq ft Grand Court, gallery style walls erected to form the parameter of the event, which featured overscale prints of the 3D architectural renderings of the new center and the work of Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas. The renderings which were covered at the beginning of the event were later revealed, following the launch video and announcement of nine new restaurants by celebrity chef Michael Mina.

Summer Crush is Pandora’s largest single day event annually and was streamed live on Pandora’s platform featuring performances by Daya, Fergie and 5 Seconds Of Summer. With just two days to build out this massive event, Stoelt took possession of the street in front of the Staples Center (Chick Hearn Square) at 6 PM sharp on Thursday, August 11th to deploy the staging, overall infrastructure, and custom shades-sail structure. Working around the clock, the stage was set, sail structure was erected, and the footprint for the Sponsor Village was laid out. Beyond producing and live-streaming three of America's hottest acts, Stoelt was also tasked with designing, rendering, building and executing five sponsor activations for Quizno’s, BestBuy, Amazon Prime Student, SweeTarts, and Chevron. The custom builds included a giant toaster oven, gladiator style wrecking ball inflatable ball game, phone charging station, adobe style kitchen, and a carwash/gas station dispensing water to keep things cool.
