Backlit inflatable moon for Astra Music Festival
Digital Inflatables designed and made a backlit inflatable moon for Astra Music Festival in La Roche-sur-Foron, Haute-Savoie, France, in May 2024. Sublimation-printed and treated to the M1 fire rating, it was delivered in two weeks, on a budget of 3’000 to 5’000 CHF. In the concert photos it hangs beside the stage, glowing from inside.

What did Digital Inflatables make for Astra Music Festival?
A backlit, sublimation-printed inflatable moon that formed part of the stage set.
In the concert photos, the moon hangs beside the stage, lit from inside and caught in the spotlight beams.
More ideas are collected in the guide to inflatable stage sets for festivals.
Can an inflatable moon hang inside a concert hall?
Yes, if its fabric meets the fire rating the venue asks for: the moon for Astra Music Festival, an indoor event, was given an M1 fire-retardant treatment.
In France, M1 is the classification for materials that are combustible but not flammable, the level many venues require.
Because the light sits inside, the moon glows in the dark without a spotlight aimed at it.
