Opportunity
The task was nothing less than helping AEG take one of North America's largest such festivals to the next level. It takes place every Labor Day weekend at the 74-acre Seattle Center, which was built for the 1962 World's Fair. With both indoor theaters and outdoor stages, it has every level of musician, performer, comedian and rockstar.
Solution
Connors & Co developed a system for organizing and advancing a 3 day festival that is so professional, it leaves touring acts and crews looking forward to returning year after year. Overseeing everything from artist hospitality to pyro effects, no detail is too big or small.
“Assuming the responsibility of operating one of the country’s longest-running music and arts festivals at Bumbershoot was no small feat. Connors & Co was the only team we trusted to tackle the hurdles of properly managing staging, sound, lighting, artist hospitality, and permitting, as well as liaising between all public and private entities in a busy public park. Connors & Co was absolutely instrumental in ensuring the festival was a logistical success, but also one that artists and patrons alike enjoyed.”
