Over the last 20 years, Kayam has been a regular supplier of structures for many of the major European music festivals including the V Festivals, T in the Park, Roskilde, Rock in Rio (Lisbon), Pukkelpop and Glastonbury.
We supplied our 10 pole Valhalla structure for the MTV European Music Awards in Rome.

MTV chose the Valhalla as the highest and widest structure available, and used its 73m width and 24m height to its maximum potential.

With a 1m high floor throughout the tent and over 60 tonnes of lighting, trusses and effects hung without the need for any additional ground supports, this was one of the most ambitious and spectacular production installations we have seen so far in one of our structures.

This prestigious show was broadcast worldwide on MTV, with Music Industry VIPs from all over the world attending so the turnout of the Valhalla had to be perfect!

But with an intensive 2 week cleaning schedule, an army of crew attending to the finest of details, we provided a structure of the highest possible quality.
A super-size Kayam Concert Tent provided the main arena for the 24 hour internationally acclaimed dance event Creamfields.
Kayam was chosen as the supplier of structures for a corporate party at Microsoft HQ in Reading, UK.
Kayam have provided structures for large and small stages for various shows for the Ministry of Sound over the last 15 years.
The Valhalla provided the venue at the O2 Arena in London, for Damon Albarn's opera: "Monkey: Journey to the West".

Production requirements for staging, and rigging for a large lighting rig and aerial performances inside the tent were demanding, but careful planning and cooperation with AEG Live enabled the erection to go smoothly and to schedule.

The addition of a Valhalla alongside the O2 made an 8 week long run for Monkey possible.
Promoters Globo Balear came to Kayam to find the ideal structure to take their Pirate's Adventure show to downtown Miami.

Featuring a swashbuckling mix of world class acrobatics, thrilling gymnastics and breath-taking dancing, the show has now played to over 3 million people world wide.
A Kayam concert tent has provided the main and second stages at Radio 1's One Big Weekend for over a decade.

Featuring artists from Madonna to Arctic Monkeys, these hugely successful events had an audience of 10,000 and were Radio 1's flagship outdoor events.
The UK band Radiohead's tented European tour played 34 shows over 42 days across 8 countries.

We provided identical, specially designed Kayam Concert Tents to hold an audience of up to 10,000 for each show.

To be sure to meet the schedule without any problems, our 3 crews used 2 complete sets of fabric and 3 sets of masts.

Radiohead played to sell-out crowds every night, and we were very pleased to be a part of the spectacular show which Radiohead's technicians planned, fully exploiting the very special space the Kayam Concert Tent offers.
The Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority commissioned Franco Dragone to create a show to highlight Abu Dhabi's rich historic past.

Franco chose a Valhalla structure in which to stage the event.

Erected for over 2 months on a sand surface, the modern tensile form of the Valhalla offered a perfect contrast alongside the 300 year old fort.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show played to an invited audience in Bryant Park, Manhattan, before being broadcast nation-wide the following day.

The annual event is much anticipated across the US as each year the promoters strive for more exotic locations and ever more extravagant productions.

The Valhalla was chosen to accommodate both the sophisticated tracking system for a very ambitious flying act above the audience - and the very sensitive nature of the site at the steps to New York Central Library.
A Valhalla was used for the launch of Vodaphone subsidiary Motto in Turkey.

The central Istanbul site was on solid rock just a few centimeters below the surface so conventional tent anchors were impractical.

However with temporary pins drilled and glued into the rocks, the tent was still erected on time for a very successful event.
A Kayam Concert Tent provided the main venue at the Volvo Ocean Race stopover in Volvo's hometown of Gothenberg, Sweden.

Straddling the end of the harbour the 5,083 sq m Concert tent was ideally suited to take full advantage of the limited space available.

But for once the Kayam was not the tallest structure on site - the Kayam was overlooked by the giant Eriksberg Crane which straddles the harbour on the seaward side.
