GL events Audiovisual & Power, a leading technical partner for festivals
Proven audiovisual and power expertise on France’s largest festivals
Every year, as the warm weather returns, music stages pop up across France, bringing together artists, technicians, and audiences for increasingly ambitious live experiences. Behind these events lies an uncompromising technical challenge: providing reliable power on temporary sites, ensuring high-quality sound systems, securing audiovisual installations, and managing significant logistical constraints all within very tight deadlines.
It is precisely in this demanding context that the expertise of GL events Audiovisual & Power stands out. With dual expertise in temporary power and professional audiovisual solutions, our teams operate across all types of festivals: in urban areas, rural settings, heritage sites, and natural landscapes. We provide full support, from the design of technical systems to on-site operations, with a constant commitment to safety, reliability, and excellence in execution.
Our strength lies in meticulous organization, specialized teams, and a proprietary equipment fleet that meets the highest expectations. We deploy silent generators, ERP-compliant distribution cabinets, state-of-the-art sound systems, digital mixing consoles, mobile control rooms, and all the equipment needed to ensure the success of a major music event. Beyond the equipment, it’s the people who make the difference: project managers, technicians, production managers, sound engineers, every role is mobilized to ensure the smooth running of the festival, working closely with the technical direction and production teams.
Our expertise is showcased at several prestigious festivals, among which Jazz à Vienne holds a special place. Hosted in an iconic ancient theater of the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the festival demands exceptional precision in its technical execution. Our teams are on hand to deliver high-fidelity sound that respects the venue’s acoustics, while integrating equipment discreetly into this heritage site. We also provide full site lighting and power distribution to offer spectators the best possible festive experience.
In a very different context, the Nuits Sonores festival in Lyon presents a unique set of challenges. Spread across multiple, often unconventional urban venues from industrial wastelands to cultural buildings and public spaces, the event requires precise management of power supply and audio installations. On this occasion, our teams handle power distribution across the various sites and support the organizers in implementing the technical setups. Present from the early setup stages, we ensure the continuity and reliability of the entire system, working closely with all project stakeholders to allow the festival to fully express its artistic identity in these distinctive locations.
In a more natural setting, the Printemps de Pérouges highlights another aspect of our work: adapting to a site that is not connected to the power grid. Held in the Ain region, this music festival requires meticulous technical logistics, covering all installations from the main stage to the dressing rooms, including food service areas and audience reception spaces. We also manage the sound and lighting control rooms, with constant attention to quality and comfort for both artists and spectators. This type of event showcases our ability to operate in challenging environments while delivering high-level technical services.
Another key cultural and festive event, the Lyon Street Food Festival offers a multidisciplinary format combining gastronomy, music, and artistic performances. Each year, the event brings together thousands of visitors around themed atmospheres, music stages, and immersive highlights. GL events Audiovisual & Power supports the festival with a full technical service, covering everything from power distribution to sound systems across various areas, as well as stage and event lighting. Our continued presence throughout the festival ensures smooth operations and supports a creative and high-caliber program.
On every project, we are committed to delivering technical solutions that enhance the audience experience while ensuring full risk control and optimal resource management. Whether it’s amplifying an artist’s voice on an iconic stage, securing the power supply across several hectares of infrastructure, or capturing a key moment, we approach each task with the same standards of quality, attentiveness, and precision.
By nature, festivals are living, ever-evolving events that demand agility, reliability, and innovation. GL events Audiovisual & Power is proud to support organizers in this dynamic process, bringing its technical expertise to help make every edition an unforgettable experience.
