ADJ Hydro Series Moving Heads Chosen for Outdoor Stage at Dutch Rebirth Festival

With the tagline of Reunite Again, the 2022 Rebirth Festival was one of the first large-scale outdoor dance events to take place in the Netherlands following two years of pandemic-induced restrictions. It also represented a reunion between the organizers and production company Spectrum AV, which worked on the festival in its early years. However, the event grew extremely quickly and required a scale of production beyond what Spectrum was capable of at the time. A large production company took care of all of the stages at the festival in the intervening years, but following the pandemic decided to refocus their business on only larger stages. Therefore, for this year’s event, they recommended that the organizers brought back Spectrum to handle the midsize stages. This was partially because of their positive experience of working with them elsewhere and partially because Spectrum AV’s business model focusses exclusively on these medium-sized stages.
