Furthermore, the Public Address and radio systems installed by Delta Sound were integral in our ability to move people to safe areas and evacuate until the weather abated.

critical message of the advancement of women,” he added. “World-class partnerships are intrinsic to our business model. TCA Abu Dhabi recognises that we are experienced at working with some
of the world’s greatest organisations to produce city-wide festivals and community events that support the Abu Dhabi plan.”
A TECHNICAL FEAT
eclipse Staging Services helped bring the Mother of the Nation Festival to life with its supply of lighting, rigging, power and audio solutions, with special effects support from Laser FX and Stage FX.
The company helped light up the km-long beach by providing ten lighting towers for both conventional and atmospheric lighting. Knowing the potential for bad weather, the team utilised some of its more robust and proven fixtures, such as the Claypaky Alpha Beam, and the Martin by Harman MAC 2000 Spot. The site encountered multiple electrical storms and gale force winds, causing minor damages to some fixtures, but ultimately the kit performed well under the conditions with only minor repairs and maintenance throughout the two-week festival.
