For the 6th year in a row ESS Japan provided a stage to the Camp in Asagiri Jam festival in Asagiri, Shizuoka. ESS used its half-dome-shaped Orbit System to supply the Rainbow Stage for the weekend event. The stage featured a variety of acts such as Dachambo, the Cinematic Orchestra and The Skatalites.
Under the gaze of Mount Fuji, against the beautiful background of forests and mountaintops, the build took 3 days to complete, finishing the evening before the event. The characteristic multi-coloured decorations of the Rainbow Stage were provided by Designs in Air. As the day turned to night the decorations lit up, adorning the stage with multi-coloured stars.
We were lucky enough to have fine weather and be able to enjoy the fresh mountain air during the build and for most of the festival. However, when rain did begin to pour during the final performances and continued during the dismantling, the Orbit kept the performers and electrical equipment covered.
ESS also provided the Mojo barrier crowd control system for both the Rainbow Stage and the Moon Shine Stage to ensure the safety of the enthusiastic crowd over the two-day event.
