Panorama Festival in NYC is the future of live music
Business Insider: I made the trek to Randalls Island in New York City this past weekend for Panorama Festival, the city's newest three-day music festival put together by Goldenvoice, the promoters behind Coachella.

Although I've never attended a incredibly famous, popular concert, I completely understand what Panorama was trying to create with their large, dynamic video screens. I go to a lot of concerts in LA, and what bands choose to do with the technology available to them makes all the difference in how much I enjoy the concert. Twenty One Pilots continues to impress me with their media usage; they fully utilize LED screens with both video and dynamic art that ties the concert together as a whole. This use of LED screens is something I'm extremely interested in as a possible future concert lighting designer. Festivals prove another challenge altogether, as all the stages must work together in some way to create a cohesive festival for the audience, but also must be able to accommodate what each artist needs for their set. I believe the future will only become more dynamic, with screens beginning to almost entirely surround the audience and submerse them into the world of the artist.
This music festival seems really super cool, and the panorama and pavilion stage screen look just amazing. When I went to concert, because it’s really hard to get a good front seat, I usually just look at the large screen, and I’ve realized that different concerts have different qualities of screening. I used to thought it’s just because the level of the video tapers and photographers, but it’s very interesting that in this article the author points out that the companies that provided the screens for the Panorama Stage and the Pavilion Stage, collaborated with each artist's team to make sure their prepared video content meshed with the camera work provided by the companies. Concerts are all about impulse, and impulse consists not only music—sound effect, lighting, LED screen, and even the architectural design of the concert stadium influence people’s mood, and I find it very interesting to look into concerts in eye of technical workers.
