OPENAIR FRAUENFELD

Objective:

Openair Frauenfeld returned from July 9–11, 2026, once again taking over the Grosse Allmend as Europe’s largest hip-hop festival. Three stages, three days, and tens of thousands of fans came together for a lineup spanning the biggest names in hip-hop and beyond.

Our Role:
Commissioned by First Event AG and working in collaboration with John Allen, we took charge of Digital Art Direction and Motion Content Creation for the festival’s MainStage. Together with REC Tec AG, we also handled the playout, bringing every visual to life in real time throughout the weekend.

The Result:
A MainStage experience that matched the scale of the festival itself—bold, immersive, and built to move with the crowd. From concept to content to playout, everything visual on the MainStage carried our signature, delivering a show that stood shoulder to shoulder with the artists on it.

Thanks to everyone involved for the teamwork.
