80six Ltd

❓Q: What’s 80six’s Formula for Large-Scale, High-Profile Live Events? ↓ 💬 A: Premium Specialised Video Solutions + Reliability + Agility + Collaborative Spirit + A Lot of Client Care. Legends power our LIVE division: Ben Annibal, one of the industry’s most loved project managers; Robin Wain, who brings over 30 years of live experience with artists such as U2, Jay Z and Madonna; and Scott Flood, whose global outreach keeps us on the pulse of what’s next in live entertainment. In addition, our studio is a gem on the concert touring market! Superior to warehouse-style rehearsing spaces, it provides a versatile space where artists can perfect their performances pre-tour. We don’t like blowing our own trumpet, so please read the reviews below to hear what others say. 📧 If you have a show in mind, contact us at [email protected]! ↓ Winner – Best Screen Supplier 2024 / Festival Supplier Awards 2024 “You can tell this contractor is a leader within its sector. Their flexibility and creativity during the build phase were really impressive, and they clearly go above and beyond for clients.” ↓ Ryan Esson – Event Producer / GoTo Live - Event Specialists “I genuinely wish more suppliers worked the same way as 80six, as my job would be much easier. This is now the second year we have engaged 80six to deliver the video aspect of the show production for Manchester Pride and they are a dream supplier to work with. Everything from quoting and initial planning to on-site delivery is smooth, efficient and professional." ↓ Frankie Tee – Director at EnTEEtainment Ltd / BBC Radio 2 in the Park 2023 “The team is a joy to work with and really works with you as part of a team effort. They quietly get on with it and any production manager can have complete trust in leaving them to deliver what they do best.” #80six #concerttouring #eventprofs #outdoorevents #festivalproduction #technicalproduction #liveevents #liveentertainment #productionstudio #productionrehearsals

🎉 Ending the year on a high note! We're thrilled to be finalists for Best Screen Supplier at the Festival Supplier Awards 2025! 🎉 The Warwick Live Concert Series at the historic Warwick Castle brought 35K attendees together over four nights. From Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds to Ministry of Sound Classical with Sigma and Hans Zimmer’s orchestra, we delivered a seamless video package that elevated every performance. Our team and freelancers called it “the best gig of the year”, and our client was "over the moon with everything." Congratulations to all nominees & see you in the next year at the party! #80six #outdoorevents #festival #screensupplier #warwicklive #eventtech #eventprofsuk

🎧 Andy C | ALIVE 3.0 | DRUMSHEDS 🎧 Stunning results with Holograms using the Pepper’s Ghost Effect! After sold-out shows at the O2 and OVO Arena Wembley, drum & bass legend Andy C returned with ALIVE 3.0, a state-of-the-art production that brought holograms, hits and one unexpected blackout to Drumsheds—proving even a power cut couldn’t stop the rave! From previs and rehearsals at 80six’s studio to the explosive live show, we worked closely with Scott, Simon, and Nigel to deliver a hell of a d&b party. ✨ Tech Spotlight: Holograms using the Pepper’s Ghost Effect!  Whether it was Andy “checking the room” is ready to begin his set or vocalists like Whoismoli beaming in for fan-favorite tracks, the results were stunning. To achieve the illusion, we used two 3.6m x 2.4m ROE Black Marble LED Floor screens. The LED floor displayed the content, while a hologauze angled at 30° reflected the visuals, creating floating holographic performers—without traditional projection. 🔥 What’s your take on holograms in live shows?

✨ H&M and Charli XCX Launch: Named the hottest party at London Fashion Week 2024 and featured in Vogue, this show raised the bar for immersive party experiences.  Brilliantly produced by KENNEDY AGENCY, this host-free immersive event was driven entirely by a strong visual narrative. Guests like Naomi Campbell and Lila Moss were welcomed by a stunning outdoor LED installation featuring three ROE Visual Carbon 5 screens. Inside, Copper Box Arena transformed from a large-scale fashion art installation to a high-energy Charli XCX concert and finally into a club experience with Jamie xx and Sherelle. The setup featured 14 transparent LED screens (Vanish V8T) and a ceiling grid with 670 ROE LED strips, dynamically rigged with Kinesys motors. Using meticulous time coded programming via disguise media servers, visuals, lasers, lights and audio synchronised perfectly, creating a crescendo of emotions. Huge shoutout to Maximo Recio for the incredible production design and to Kennedy Agency for a seamless collaboration!  Big thanks to our on-site team—Project Manager Oliver Silk and Head of ICVFX & Advanced Technologies Daniel Hall - who delivered beyond expectations. 👉 Want to see more?

🎬📷 See the 80six team in action at HUM Awards, bringing this complex awards production to life alongside our client Encore. With 26 screens spanning nine 4K canvases, the stunning visuals and performances captivated audiences both live and on-air. Tom Ring, Project Director at Encore, says: “As always, it was a seamless experience working with 80six on this hugely complex and challenging project. With a mixture of flown and ground-stacked LED walls at varying angles, it was an extremely intricate structure, but through detailed pre-production between our team and 80six, the install went smoothly and exactly to plan.” What do you think was the most challenging part about putting on an awards ceremony of this scale?

💪✨ Diversity is a fact. Inclusion is an act. And the Rise Awards 2024 is a shining example of those taking action—the companies and advocates working toward a more equitable broadcast and media industry, where women have a seat at the table and are celebrated for their incredible contributions. Dan Hamill, co-founder of 80six and RISE mentee 2024 ⚡️Aura Popa ⚡️, our Marketing Director, joined the awards. Aura’s experience with the RISE mentorship program this year has been transformative, showcasing not just personal growth but the power of a supportive, empowered community of women, coached by the amazing Carla Maroussas. Being nominated for the Company Award for Investment in Women felt like a significant step forward for 80six—a milestone that inspires us to continue our journey toward achieving a 50/50 gender balance and reminds us of the work still needed ahead. Special congratulations to Amy Woods, Winner Student of the Year, who we celebrated with at the table, and Megan Mauck of NBCUniversal, Woman of the Year, whose inspiring leadership shone brightly at the DPP Leader’s Briefing the following day. Thank you to Rise, Sadie Groom, Donna Kay Smith for all the meaningful work you do for women and to DCE AGENCY Ltd for staging such a beautiful event. To all nominees, winners, sponsors, and supporters in the room—let’s keep raising the bar together! 🚀 #RiseAwards2024 #WomeninBroadcast #InvestinWomen #InspireInclusion #FilmandTv #DEI
