Full Festival Production at Windsor Racecourse

In summer 2025, Fusion Sound & Light delivered full festival production for Celestry, a high-energy house and dance music event held at Windsor Racecourse.

Bringing together legendary DJs including Chicane, Judge Jules, Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez, Tall Paul, Rozalia and Jon Pleased Wimmin, the event attracted thousands of dance music fans for a spectacular open-air celebration.

The organisers approached Fusion Sound & Light to provide complete technical production, including staging, sound system hire, lighting design, video wall production, special effects and power distribution.

Our goal was to create a festival-standard production environment capable of supporting internationally recognised artists while delivering an immersive and visually powerful experience for the audience.

Stage & Festival Setup

At the heart of the event was an 8m x 6m canopy festival stage, designed to provide a professional performance platform while protecting equipment and artists from outdoor conditions.

To enhance the audience experience and create greater engagement between performers and the crowd, the stage included a catwalk extension, allowing DJs and performers to interact directly with the audience.

The stage design featured:

• Custom DJ booth wrapped with LED video wall panels

• Large LED video wall backdrop

• Dynamic visual content displayed throughout the event

This setup ensured the stage remained the focal point of the festival while delivering a visually striking production environment.

Professional Festival Sound System

Delivering powerful and consistent sound across a large outdoor audience area was essential for this dance music event.

We supplied a D&B professional sound system, carefully designed and tuned to deliver clear, high-impact audio across the entire site.

The system included:

• D&B PA system

• Sidefill speakers

• Stage monitors for performers

• Midas M32 front-of-house mixing console

• Midas M32R monitor mixing desk

• Midas DL32 stage box

This configuration provided exceptional audio quality while offering the flexibility required for multiple artists performing throughout the event.

DJ & Artist Performance Equipment

To support internationally recognised DJs and ensure seamless performances, we provided industry-standard DJ equipment and artist rider support, including:

• Pioneer CDJ-3000 media players

• Pioneer DJM-A9 mixer

• Sennheiser EW IEM G4-GB in-ear monitoring system

• Professional microphones

Providing the latest Pioneer DJ equipment ensured performers could deliver their sets using the industry-standard setup they rely on at major festivals and venues worldwide.

Festival Lighting Design

Lighting played a crucial role in creating the high-energy atmosphere expected at a house and dance music event.

Our lighting rig included a combination of moving heads, audience blinders and atmospheric effects to enhance the visual experience.

Lighting equipment included:

• Fury 200 DTW IP65 2-Cell Blinders

• Evora CMY300 Zoom Spots

• Evora 740ZP Zoom Wash fixtures

• Spectra Flood 18HEX10 PRO LED floods

• Tourhazer 2-SF haze machine

• Smoke Factory Data II haze system

These fixtures delivered dynamic lighting looks, powerful audience moments and dramatic beam effects throughout the performances.

Special Effects & Festival Atmosphere

To elevate the energy of the event and create memorable moments during headline sets, we incorporated a range of special effects commonly used in large-scale festival productions.

These included:

• CO₂ cannons for explosive drops and crowd interaction

• Laserworld CS12000RGB FX full-colour laser system (12,000mW) for dramatic aerial laser displays

Combined with the lighting rig and video visuals, these effects created an immersive festival environment that amplified the music and heightened the audience experience.

Video Wall & Visual Production

The event featured a video wall DJ booth and stage backdrop, providing a dynamic visual centrepiece for the performance area.

This video content enhanced the audience experience by:

• Delivering immersive visuals during DJ performances

• Reinforcing the event’s celestial branding theme

• Creating a strong visual connection between stage and crowd

Video walls are increasingly becoming a key element in modern festival production, helping events stand out visually and enhance audience engagement.

Power Distribution & Technical Production

In addition to sound, lighting and stage production, our team also delivered complete site power distribution for the event.

Reliable power management ensured all technical systems operated smoothly throughout the festival.

Our team of experienced sound engineers, lighting technicians and video operators managed:

• Event setup and rigging

• Technical testing and rehearsals

• Live event operation

• Artist technical support

This ensured the event ran seamlessly from the first performance to the final set.

Collaboration with the Event Organisers

From the early planning stages, we worked closely with the event organisers to design a production package that delivered maximum visual and audio impact while remaining within budget.

This collaborative approach allowed us to balance technical requirements, artist riders and creative ambition to create a production setup that exceeded expectations.

Continuing Our Partnership with Celestry

The success of the 2025 event made Celestry one of the standout highlights of our summer festival season.

Following the overwhelming success of the event, Fusion Sound & Light has been confirmed as the production partner for Celestry again in July 2026.

We look forward to building on the success of the previous year and delivering another spectacular celebration of house and dance music.
