Boomtown – Music Festival IMAG Camera Package
Boomtown is one of the largest and most innovative music festivals in the UK. Hosted in the beautiful South Downs National Park near Winchester, the festival is known for its bohemian style. Over the course of an August weekend, festival-goers enjoy a mix of genres, with live bands, DJs and theatrical performances tucked in every corner of this sprawling, immersive city.
Some of the standout acts from the past few years include Sex Pistols ft. Frank Carter, Boney M., Sleaford Mods, Ezra Collective, Bob Vylan, Leftfield, Cypress Hill and Sister Sledge.
Three Years Of Technica Innovation
Since 2023, we’ve been honoured to provide live camera coverage for two main stages at Boomtown – Grand Central and Lion’s Gate (formerly Origin).
In 2024 and 2025, we were also delighted to work in collaboration with Canon, a globally recognised leader in camera and lens technology. In 2024 we were the first production company to use Canon’s EOS C400 cameras in a real-life live production. And in 2025 we used cutting edge robotics to turn Canon’s cinema cameras into remote controlled PTZs, transforming them into low-light beasts! (You can watch the two case studies Canon made with us here and here.)
For us, Boomtown has always been an opportunity to innovate. Whether it’s using the latest camera technology, or – in 2023 – hoisting a remote controlled PTZ camera 26 metres to the top a faux stone henge, Boomtown has always been an opportunity for us to demonstrate our technical capabilities. It’s very much an event where every department is firing on all cylinders!
Delivering the Festival Experience
When we work at large festivals, our goal is to create an experience that matches the high standards of the festival itself. For many attendees, the images on the LED screens are their primary view of the performance. It’s essential that we deliver the best quality possible. Whether it’s 4pm in the afternoon or 4am in the morning, our team has worked tirelessly to deliver an incredible show for the 75,000 people who’ve made the pilgrimage to Boomtown.
Beyond the live screens, we also recorded all performances, providing the promoters and artists with high-quality assets for their future marketing. For us, festival cover isn’t just about doing a great job at the event itself. It’s about creating value that goes beyond what you see on the LED screens.
