[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 34356, member: 153"] Re: Another Stage Collapse Hello Kristian, In this case, the Stage was already in place and wasn't traveling with any one of the particular artists, as is with most festivals. I'm guessing that other than some possible "specials" for the lighting crew, and a back drop or two...the lighting, sound and video gear was for everyone's use and not for any specific Act. So..your question regarding Stages/Roof comes down to size, strength, and mobility. I think that it's more than possible to design and build a large stage/roof combination, that's portable and can withstand extreme weather....but, I think at the "cost" of flexibility, which some will find "inconvenient". The weather will ...as you say, continue to do what it wants, and of course, the only thing anyone can do is to be diligent in regards to monitoring the weather and to have safety procedures in place to protect the Attendees, Artists, and Crew. When there's even a hint at extreme weather, then these Promoters will need to call the Show. Hammer fwiw...someone mentioned the "claw" in regards to extreme weather... based on the design, I'd find it difficult to believe that anything short of a direct hit from a Tornado strength wind could cause it to topple over.
