Aside from GLP’s JDC2 IP and impression X5 Bars deployed on the Pyramid stage for Friday night headliners the 1975, it was another headline performance – Charli XCX’s appearance on the Other stage – that became another of the most talked-about sets of Glastonbury Festival 2025. Here the stage was bedecked with 168 JDC Burst 1 strobe/wash hybrids.
Since last November, her lighting has been supplied by Liteup, which has now added 90 of its 100 newly acquired GLP JDC Burst 1s to her touring rig. These accompanied her to Glastonbury, where they complemented a further 78 JDC Bursts on the over-stage rig, the wings and delay tower – part of the generic house rig provided by Siyan. This gave the artist’s creative director, Imogene Strauss, and LD, Jonny Kingsbury (Cour Design), the tools needed to deliver a dynamic and ever-changing set.
Liteup MD, Marc Callaghan, said: “What really impressed us was the fixtures’ brightness, cost effectiveness, IP rating and the iQ.Mesh. These are all really great features.”
With its segmented, controllable white strobe line, the JDC Burst 1 delivers impressive strobe effects. Inspired by the JDC2 IP, the new JDC Burst 1 features an impressive blend of power, colour intensity and flexibility.
Over at the Levels – the late-night, open-air dance stage nestled within Glastonbury’s Silver Hayes zone – GLP’s powerful Creos washlights delivered a visually arresting experience for thousands of festivalgoers.
