From warehouse to dancefloor: building the night stage

From warehouse to dancefloor: building the night stage

Four days of construction, one week of programming. A look behind the industrial space that becomes the festival's heart at 22:00.

The night venue is an empty freight hall for fifty-one weeks of the year. The transformation starts with sound, not light.

Acoustic panels go in before anything else, because a hall built for containers is built for echo.

By opening night the space holds four thousand people and still allows a conversation at the bar.

    Did the 21K last year and this read brought the whole thing back. That last kilometre under the yellow arch is unreal.

    Anyone else pairing the morning social run with the afternoon recovery circuit? Best combo of the week, my legs said thank you.

    The sprint lab data was the highlight for me. Walked out with my own gait model and instantly changed how I warm up.

    New to SPORTIFY this year — is the Friday night set beginner friendly or should I start with the rooftop sundown?
