Built for It: How MMP Tackles Event Production in Tough Environments
From unpredictable weather to remote setups, here’s how our team delivers no matter the conditions.
When you’re at a live event, you see the show—the lights, the sound, the energy. What you don’t see is the work it takes to make it happen, especially in environments that don’t make it easy.
At Music Matters Productions, we specialize in delivering full-scale production in the toughest conditions imaginable. Festivals in the rain. Activations in unexpected weather. Multi-day events at sea. We’ve built a reputation on being the team you want when it’s all on the line.
Weather, Terrain, and Tight Timelines? We’re Built for That.
Most events don’t happen in climate-controlled ballrooms. Our team loads into muddy fields, onto cruise ship decks, and into arenas running on tight turnarounds. We thrive in the kind of high-pressure, high-variable environments where every decision matters.
Here’s how we pull it off:
1. Gear That Performs in Any Weather
We’ve invested in IP-rated, tour-tested gear because outdoor events don’t wait on the forecast.
- Lighting: All-weather fixtures like the Chauvet Maverick Storm 1 Wash and Elation Proteus Hybrid bring reliable performance, rain or shine.
- Audio: With our d&b audiotechnik GSL rig, we deliver high-impact sound in challenging acoustic environments.
- Video: ROE CB5 LED walls are bright, durable, and built to withstand heat, humidity, or high winds.
2. Load-Ins that Run Like Clockwork
Time is always tight. So our team is ready to move fast, stay organized, and adapt on the fly.
- Advance Logistics: We map out each venue and prep every detail before we arrive.
- Modular Systems: Our gear is designed for speed without sacrificing performance.
- On-Site Adaptability: Cruise decks, dirt lots, or tight urban load-ins—we’ve done it all.
3. A Crew That Doesn’t Blink Under Pressure
Our team isn’t just experienced—they’re built for this.
- Training for the Unexpected: We prep for high heat, weather delays, and anything else the environment throws our way.
- Calm Under Pressure: When plans change, we stay focused and keep the production moving.
- Collaborative by Nature: We work closely with tour managers, producers, and brand teams to make it all click.
Case Study: Sixthman Festivals at Sea
Producing a festival on a cruise ship? That’s a whole different level of complexity.
With Sixthman’s floating festivals, we load in full-scale audio, lighting, and video systems in a matter of hours—then repeat it weekly across multiple themed sailings. Weatherproof gear. Fast setups. Crew that gets it done. And not a single do-over.
What It Looks Like in Action
Behind every smooth show is a crew in motion:
- Festival Field Load-Ins at sunrise
- Rain-Ready Builds with ponchos on and lights firing
- Stage Builds on Deck of moving ships
- Precise Turnarounds during multi-artist lineups
