LASER SAGA ILLUMINATES WORLD CUP AFTER PARTIES

THE COMPANY SUPPLIES LASERS AND SFX FOR 30 DAYS OF CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS DURING THE FIFA WORLD CUP IN QATAR.

As the eyes of the world turned towards Qatar for the enthralling on-pitch action at the FIFA World Cup, off the pitch, there was no shortage of options for the hundreds of thousands of fans who wanted to keep the party going long after the final whistle.

Among the many afterparties on offer were the Arcadia Electronic Music Festival in Ras Bu Fontas, comprising both the Spider and Reactor Stages, as well as the Daydream Festival and World Stage, held at Doha Golf Club, produced by Alchemy Project.

Featuring headliners including Black Eyed Peas, Robbie Williams, Akon, Tiësto and many more, the festivals combined to make up 30 days of continuous entertainment. Laser Saga provided lasers and special effects for all four stages at both locations.

“We were initially contacted by the team at Arcadia to handle the Spider and Reactor Stages,” explained Laser Saga Founder and Managing Director, Serge Lomadze. “This soon turned into a much larger delivery to include both the Daydream and World Stages produced by Alchemy Project.”

Across the four stages, the company supplied a total of five tonnes of laser and SFX equipment, including 600kg of confetti, 4,000 litres of flame fluid, 30,000 litres of CO2, and 1,200W of lasers, which were deployed throughout 30 days of non-stop operations. The supply comprised LS-NYX 30W and AT 15W lasers, Galaxis G-Flame units, Showven Circle flamers, and a range of MAGIC FX special effects kit including Super Blasters, Stadium Shot Extremes, Stadium Shot 2s and CO2 Jets.

“We got confirmation for the project around a week before Black Eyed Peas played the first headline show, so, to turn it around so quickly was a massive achievement,” Lomadze recalled. “I would like to thank both the Alchemy Project and Arcadia teams for putting their faith in us and congratulate them on a spectacular month of shows.”
