On 16 February 2019, the 12th edition of the Swiss Music Awards took place at KKL Luzern. The audience and the greatest Swiss musicians celebrated the winners of the coveted concrete block during a magnificent evening with a packed schedule.
A special feature of this year’s Swiss Music Awards was the division of the event into two halls. While the award ceremony was held in the concert hall, concerts took place in the Lucerne Hall next door. To allow the audience to participate in both events, clips of the concerts were broadcast live in the awards hall and, vice versa, parts of the award ceremony were shown in the concert hall throughout the evening.
We have been commissioned by Claim Event AG to provide the technical planning and implementation of the rigging and lighting technology since 2008. We were also responsible for the audio and video technology, as well as the technical stage construction. In total, we installed 268m2 LEDs on the stage, as well as several screens to play back the video recordings. This also included the highlights cut with the most entertaining events of the evening, which were played at the appropriate times between the schedule. In addition to the entire technology, we directed the supporting programme – which was adapted to the audiences in the two halls.
