Blackmagic Design today announced that live production workflows, featuring its products for acquisition, control and delivery, have been used on some of this years biggest music festivals and concert tours. Artists and events included Little Mix, Billie Eilish, Elton John, Fall Out Boy and Andrea Bocelli, as well as Festival Beauregard, Rocking the Daisies, Aftershock Festival and Sweden Rock.

As broadcast and AV workflows continue to converge, more and more rental and staging companies are now standardizing their video offerings to festivals and touring artists based on hardware solutions from Blackmagic Design. Not only has the amount of video demanded by the entertainment market increased in 2019, so too has the amount of 4K production for IMAG.
That is placing higher demands for more adaptable and easier to tour video solutions, according to Lucy Ockenden of This World Productions. As a business, we need our hardware systems to talk openly at all stages in the production chain, and that is the beauty of Blackmagic Design. Regardless of where or how we deploy the hardware in our setups, it can always be trusted to fit in and work.
The balance of reliability, powerful performance and price point of a Blackmagic Design solution continues to resonate with leading rental and staging companies.
Tom Levitt, director at The LED Shed, explains: Youre always hit with challenges whilst out on tour, particularly with venue quirks and staging characteristics, and being able to trust that your equipment isnt one of those headaches is invaluable.

Blackmagic Design makes sense for several reasons according to Jonathan Bandli of Bad Weather. One being the clear price advantage over other products in its category, and the second being the local support the company provides. It has made some massive leaps in the past few years, which have put all previous hesitations we might have had to bed. We are entirely confident with our investment choice and look forward to a bright and long future with this incredible and flexible system.
