ALT students take on Grøn Koncert 🇩🇰

Every year, we team up with the brilliant crew at Grøn Koncert to send our students to Denmark for one of the most unique festival experiences around.

Grøn doesn’t stay in one place. The whole festival packs up and hits the road, travelling to 8 different cities across Denmark, with up to 30,000 people showing up at each one.

Our students are right in the middle of it all, working alongside the production teams and local crew to build it, run it and tear it all back down again before heading off to the next city.

But it’s not all hard work…

There’s getting to experience Danish culture, late nights, new friends and plenty of fun along the way. It’s exactly the kind of experience you can’t get from a classroom.

Swipe through to see what our students got up to 👀

Huge thanks to the Grøn team for making it happen!

As part of our Industry Practices programme, our students had the opportunity to hear from CuePilot about the technologies, workflows, and creative processes that help bring some of the world's biggest live productions and broadcasts to life.

CuePilot's software is used across major live television and entertainment productions to plan, cue, and coordinate complex shows with precision, making them a valuable insight into the world of large-scale production.

A big thanks for Dan from CuePilot for coming to speak with our students.
