Paléo Music Festival
August 21, 2002
Currently enjoying a resurgence of popularity, summer music festivals are alive and well in both Europe and North America. Six days of sunshine and a great atmosphere in one of Europe’s most beautiful countries is just the cure for those summertime blues.
On July 25th British rock legends The Cure played before a vast audience at Switzerland’s largest open-air festival, the Paléo Festival Nyon. Gaining in popularity year for year, the Paléo Festival is attracting some of the biggest names in music.
Rental company Cameleon supplied 16 MAC 2000s, 8 MAC 2000 Performances, 14 MAC 600s and 18 RoboColor Pro 400s for the performance with a lighting and stage design completed by company Sérafin Lampion. As one of the headlining acts, The Cure’s performance on The Grande Scene was a much-anticipated event with a large part of the huge 100,000+ festival crowd in attendance.
Celebrating its 27th year, the Paléo Festival is a unique blend of fair and concert that has become a must stop on the European summer music calendar. The six-day festival saw a number of top regional as well as international acts including James Brown, Indochine, Supertramp, The Pet Shop Boys and many others.
