Digital Inflatables makes inflatable sets for festivals, from the backlit moon of Astra Festival to the two sets of the Head In The Clouds festival in Los Angeles, one of them 55 metres long, made for the third year in a row. For Sephoria, the Sephora festival, the workshop designed an Erborian stand that fits in a suitcase under 20 kg once deflated.

Why choose an inflatable set for a festival?

Across these projects, an inflatable set reached 55 metres in length, and an inflatable stand travels deflated: the Erborian stand fits in a suitcase under 20 kg.

The main set of the Head In The Clouds festival is 55 metres long and 8 metres high.

How large can an inflatable stage set be?

For the Head In The Clouds festival, Digital Inflatables made a set 55 metres long by 8 metres high, and a second one 25 metres by 5 metres high.

This is the third year in a row the workshop has made the sets of this festival, for AEG entertainment and 88rising.
