FuelFest UK 2026
Full-site production for FuelFest UK, bringing together an 8m arch-roof stage, d&b audio, LED video, lighting and live-arena coverage.
How the production came together.
For FuelFest UK at Manston Airport, ALD worked alongside Crewsade to deliver technical production across the main stage, live arena and wider show site. The brief needed concert-level impact while keeping every part of a busy automotive festival connected.
The main stage was built around an 8m by 6m arch roof with a d&b CCL front-of-house system. Sixteen moving lights were split between the roof and stage floor, giving live performances and DJ sets a strong visual identity in daylight and after dark.
Absen 2.9mm LED formed the flown upstage wall and the DJ-front display, driven through NovaStar processing and Resolume playback. Pioneer CDJ-3000 players and a DJM-A9 mixer completed a performance-ready DJ package, with ALD technicians onsite to run the system.
Beyond the main stage, we supplied the arena DJ position, high-output audio and strategically placed delay loudspeakers. Truss towers and a production-built entrance arch carried the event language through the site and helped turn separate show areas into one joined-up experience.
