2025 saw Loyle Carner return to Glastonbury Festival to headline the Other Stage, delivering an ambitious yet intimate performance that captivated both the live audience and BBC broadcast viewers. To support this vision, Vanta provided a Disguise-based media server system, full video infrastructure, robust networking, and precise timecode distribution to meet the demands of a festival headline slot with total reliability.
To achieve the desired intimacy, Vanta developed a custom-fabricated mic stand camera, designed through in-house R&D at Brooklands Studio to capture close-up performance shots without being obtrusive on stage, or visible in BBC broadcast coverage. This innovation sat alongside twelve 4k cinema grade mini cams concealed around band risers.
