Street Gigs series - expect the unexpected

Light and sound implementation of the unusual T-Mobile Street Gigs by Leyendecker GmbH

Street Gigs – the new series of events by T-Mobile presenting a different top band every month at an unusual location kept absolutely secret be-forehand. 7 concerts by national and international artists are planned for 2007 whereby the artist and location are only announced shortly before the concert. Leyendecker GmbH is not only responsible for the set-up and dismantling of the 9m x 8m stage but also for the installation of the light and sound systems for all the events. The lighting also creates the perfect atmosphere for the respective location. The Street Gigs’ tickets are not available at any ticket office, they are drawn. This requires online registra-tion with the T-Mobile Street Gig community. The tickets for the winners and accompanying person are sent to the cell phones via sms and can then be scanned in on the spot quickly and easily.
