Festival production and scenic fabrication

A festival site is a temporary town. We design and fabricate the parts visitors remember — entrances, scenic installations, sponsor zones, VIP lounges and backstage spaces — and the wayfinding that makes a big site work.

What festival fabrication covers

Festivals need large scenic elements that are striking, safe, quick to install and robust enough for nights of crowds, heat, sand and wind. We design them with engineers’ input, fabricate them off-site in modules and install them to the promoter’s site schedule.

The Saudi festival landscape includes MDLBEAST SOUNDSTORM at Banban, AZIMUTH and Winter at Tantora in AlUla with settings such as Maraya, and past programmes including AFT_r, A Thousand and One, Balad Social and Kokub. We reference them as context for the formats and environments involved; we are not affiliated with their organisers, and do not list future dates or line-ups.

Where we plan festival builds

Desert sites north of Riyadh such as Banban, heritage and valley settings in AlUla, Jeddah’s Al-Balad and waterfront, Diriyah, and seasonal zones in Riyadh and Jeddah — plus festival sites across the Kingdom and GCC.

How we work with you

  1. Brief — Share the event type, site or venue, dates if confirmed, audience and objectives.
  2. Site & rules check — We review access, power, rigging and the organiser or landlord rules that apply to this site.
  3. Design & proposal — Concept, 3D visuals and an itemised proposal so scope and cost are clear before commitment.
  4. Production & logistics — Off-site fabrication, technical preparation, transport and crew scheduling planned around the site window.
  5. Install, operate, dismantle — On-site build, testing, show support and a planned breakdown with the site handed back as agreed.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build sponsor zones inside someone else’s festival?

Yes. Brands and agencies appoint us for their zones; we work to the promoter’s site rules, approvals and schedule.

Are your scenic pieces reusable?

Where the client wants it, we design modular pieces for storage and reuse across editions or tours.

Do you have an office or workshop in this location?

Our head office is in Manama, Bahrain, and we run Saudi projects with production capability in Riyadh. We plan delivery to each location project by project — travelling crews, transport and local suppliers where needed — rather than claiming a local office.
