Schlagerfestival 2023: Glitter & Glamour

Glitter, glamour and Schlagers: that was the recipe for the 16th edition of the Schlager Festival in Hasselt's Trixxo Arena on March 23, 24 and 25. As many as 30,000 Schlager fans could once again dance the polonaise throughout the hall to the tunes of De Romeo's, Christoff, Willy Sommers and many other artists. They had to wait a year longer for it, but the result and the ambiance were definitely there.

Challenge

The Schlager Festival guarantees ambiance for young and old. Especially after the 2022 edition was postponed, everyone was ready to rock out again. For this edition, everything was dressed up in glitter and glamour, it's time to shine! In perfect harmony with the great live band, light and video had to reflect the theme throughout the show, creating a great atmosphere.

Result

The stage design, in the hands of Luc Peumans, Jo Segers and Jeroen Opsteyn was one to be framed. A modern ballroom formed on a full LED wall provided a dynamic yet recognizable backdrop. A unique atmosphere was created per song and per artist, but the essence always remained glitter and glamour. Video content was provided by Jo Segers and Menno Broere, lighting programming by Jeroen Opsteyn and Hans Mertens and video programming by Toon Raskin. The star of the show? The 6-meter disco ball combined with numerous smaller disco balls that transformed the entire hall into a magical whole. What a dazzling experience! Another great assignment from PSE Belgium in collaboration with PRG Belgium.

Luc Peumans As a child, Luc was already fascinated by light and technology, which inspired him to study engineering alongside his musical hobbies. His passion for light took off when he became a member of the Symbolica dance theatre. During his studies, he gained his first work experience as a light technician, designer and operator for national and international concerts and shows. This was the seed for the establishment of Painting with Light in 1999. Luc is a creative perfectionist who will never shy away from a challenge. He cherishes time with his two children Sam and Bo, and he also likes being on a golf course. He cites the “Clouseau in het Lang” concert from 2005 and the 2018 musical project ‘40-‘45 as memorable challenges, that succeeded thanks to groundbreaking and enthusiastic teamwork. Should we even mention that he is proud as punch of his team?
Jo Segers Jo has been working at Painting with Light as a designer for three years. He usually makes a rough sketch of his initial ideas for a new concept. Pretty old school, right? He translates these sketches into a digital sketch that serves as a basis for a 3D model he uses to make digital animations for the project. He rather enjoys communicating with the client about the designs, and he also looks after installation programming on some of the projects (usually with Céline). He loves the variety of his work. Each project has its own action plan, and this is different every time. He’s got a great anecdote featuring a colleague and a folding chair, but he’s keeping it a secret. That’s right, he’s very discreet too. As far as projects go, he has good memories of the 2019 Niels Destadsbader concert in the Sportpaleis. Not just because it was the first Sportpaleis show he was closely involved in, but also because of the great atmosphere.
Jeroen Opsteyn Jeroen is a busy man, who has been giving his all as a light programmer and designer at Painting with Light for the last 6 years. Every day, he tries to come up with a new show in a creative way. He really is an ambiance creator who is quick and adept at programming shows. He enjoys the satisfaction of seeing everything come together during the first show after an intense start-up, and the positive reactions from the audience. As a loyal team player, giving away house secrets is not his thing: after all, what happens on tour ... He has particularly find memories of The Bodyguard, his first ‘big’ musical project at Painting with Light. It cost him six weeks of blood, sweat, and tears, but the result was a definite hit.
Toon Raskin Toon studied multimedia and communication technology at the Erasmushogeschool in Brussels and completed a successful internship at Painting with Light. As soon as he got his diploma, he could start work as a video and media server specialist. He is often on the road for shows, to look after video productions for LED screens or projections. When he does make it to his office chair, he likes to devise and develop virtual live shows. He is always open to learning new things, and he likes to think in terms of solutions. His moment of glory so far was during his internship when he immediately went along to the ultimate city of light Paris for a rollercoaster project. The amusement park was closed, it was snowing and Toon and the PWL team worked up a sweat. Cool!
