Cameo Illuminates the Tante Mia Tanzt Festival 2023

On May 18 2023, the sixth edition of the Tante Mia Tanzt Electro Festival took place in Vechta, Lower Saxony, Germany. Top DJs such as Netsky, Steve Aoki, and W&W played on the 68-metre-wide and 14-metre-high stage in front of around 20,000 spectators. As in the previous year, Eventures GmbH was responsible for the technical event equipment of the open-air festival in 2023. Tante Mia also relies on continuity behind the lighting console: Lighting Designer Milan Spira already used a lot of moving lights from Cameo for the 2022 edition, and this time opted for the OTOS, OPUS and ZENIT Series.Read More »Cameo Illuminates the Tante Mia Tanzt Festival 2023

Tyler Shapard and Dayne deHaven Go Bold at Bonnaroo for The Band CAMINO with CHAUVET Professional

The Band CAMINO has been on quite a roll of late, with an Elektra Records deal, a slew of charting hits like “The Last Man Standing,” and a European tour under their belts.
