Same spot. Different spirit.
This year the Viaduct stage was reworked from the ground up. A new layout, new materials, and a shift in how the space holds sound and movement. The construction keys went to scenographer Stan Vrebos, who brought a fresh eye to the build, moving past the idea of just a dancefloor and into something that carries the full weight of a festival space.
Most of what you’ll see has had a past life. Scaff bars, wooden beams, reused joints. Nothing new for the sake of being new. Everything adapted, shifted, and made to fit this specific place. A layout that opens where it needs to, narrows when it should, and stays out of the way when it counts.
The structure mirrors its surroundings. With over 1000 reused parts and 600 meters of wood, it takes cues from the viaduct itself. Beams, blocks, and industrial forms brought into view rather than hidden. From materials to lighting, every detail was tuned to serve the crowd. A stage that lets energy circulate rather than dictate it.
This version of Viaduct is shaped by many hands, open minds, and a shared sense of what a dancefloor could be. Functional, grounded, and made to move.
