Metallica Headlines Roskilde with Harman Martin LightingThe Roskilde Music Festival in Denmark, one of Europe's biggest summer music festivals, has brought together some of the world's most popular artists since the early 1970s. On this year's Orange Stage, Metallica headlined the festival, with performances from many other globally acclaimed artists, including Rihanna and Slipknot. Designed by veteran lighting designer Kasper Lange, the Orange Stage featured a vast amount of Harman Martin lighting fixtures for the Metallica set. The Orange Stage included 68 Martin MAC 2000 Wash XB's and 34 MAC III Profile moving heads, along with 65 MAC 101's and 10 MAC Aura LED moving heads. Thirty-four Atomic 3000 strobes with Atomic Colors scrollers were deployed for blinding punch effects. Copenhagen-based rental company Litecom, supplied the gear. Martin lighting, which has graced Roskilde for years, also played a role on several other stages at the 2013 festival including the Pavilion Stage, featuring MAC III Profiles and MAC Auras supplied by rental company Victory, the Odeon Stage, with MAC Auras also supplied by Victory, and the Apollo Stage, featuring Atomic 3000's supplied by rental company Comtech. Comtech also contributed MAC Auras, MAC 700 Profiles, MAC 350 Entours, MAC 250 Beams, MAC TW1s, and Atomic 3000's for various other areas. "Martin has been used during the historic Roskilde festival for many years, and we are proud to continue this partnership, supplying the brightest and highest quality lighting systems for the bands and fans," said Steen Matthiesen, Martin vice president EMEA sales. "Having a large variety of fixtures deployed throughout the festival speaks to the versatility of Martin and will undoubtedly provide our latest and greatest fixtures for next year's Roskilde!"
