Dubai’s ‘Bao: The Final Frontier’ EDM festival

Protec were called upon by their clients Envie Events to provide full AV support for ‘Bao: The Final Frontier’ EDM festival at Meydan Racecourse, Dubai.

Working with Envie before on Sensation and Unite with Tomorrowland, Protec were delighted to continue this partnership and rise to the challenge on what, according to baofestival.com, promised to be a “two-day extravaganza of unrivalled entertainment and music,” and “a production of unparalleled show-stopping grandeur.”

Video used the state of the art Barco E2 linked with Barco S3 and Barco EX to provide 3 x 4k input and 3 x 4k output which was then split into 10 Full HD outputs distributed over fibre optic cable to the 12 Barco HDF W30K projectors (6 backup) as well as to the 4 LED processors backstage and the live backup processors there. There were over 300 panels of 6mm and 9mm LED used and all the necessary fibre optic distribution over Lightware 220 Pro Transmitter and Receiver.

Massive crowds were attracted to the theatrical display and phenomenal line-up of world class DJs.
Artistes included the top 2 DJs of the DJ Mag top 100 Martin Garrix, and Dimitri Vegas &Like Mike as well as heavyweights Afrojack, Don Diablo, Nervo, R3hab and more.
Protec’s Chris McAleese operated audio at FOH and he gave us an insight into what he used to deliver sound that had both the crowd and DJs completely immersed in the moment.
