Bringing the festival vibes to the Founder’s Building.

In 2019, we returned to Royal Holloway University for our second Freshers Festival — this time with a mission: to take the night to full-on festival levels. With a heavy-hitting lineup, explosive production, and a crowd of thousands ready to party, we transformed the historic campus into a one-night-only live event experience to remember.

Headline Acts:

• Chase & Status (DJ Set)

• Big Narstie

• Two Door Cinema Club

• Patrick Nazemi

From high-energy grime to indie anthems and late-night electronic beats, the music lineup demanded a serious production setup — and we delivered.

What We Supplied:

• Festival-Grade Lighting
  A full lighting rig including lasers and moving heads, engineered to deliver both atmosphere and intensity throughout the night.

• Custom-Built Stages
  Designed and constructed to host multiple acts, giving the night a professional, mainstage feel.

• Atmospherics & SFX
  CO2 cannons, haze, and special FX created the festival vibe and brought moments of pure crowd euphoria.

• Audio Production
  A powerful PA system to cover the entire event space with clarity and impact, no matter the genre.

• DJ Tech Rider Support
  We supplied industry-standard Pioneer CDJ 3000s and a matching mixer for the artists, ensuring flawless performance delivery.

• Expert Technical Crew
  Our team of audio, lighting, and effects specialists handled every cue, transition, and drop — bringing headline performances to life with precision and creativity.

A Night to Remember

This was more than just a Freshers Ball — it was a full-scale, high-production experience that felt like a proper festival night. From Chase & Status’ explosive closing DJ set to Big Narstie’s larger-than-life stage presence, every act hit harder thanks to the energy in the crowd and the immersive environment we created.

It stands out as one of our most unforgettable university productions — and a night that truly raised the bar.

With Thanks

A massive shout-out to Kyri, Head of Events at Royal Holloway at the time and now runs Cyndeo Events. Thank you for trusting us (again!) to help elevate this night into something special — we can’t wait to team up again.
