Tokio Hotel

The day before the Arrow Rock Festival was held, the b-stage was used for a concert of the popluar German band Tokio Hotel. Production-wise it was not a very big challenge, but the 10.000 fanatic teenage fans were quite an issue. The first fans arrived on the same day we started building the production, which was five days before the show. An enormous amount of barriers contributed to a smooth progression of the day of the concert.
