Engineering the Infrastructure Behind the Performance
When BLACKPINK’s BORN PINK World Tour arrived in Abu Dhabi in 2023, the production extended well beyond the main stage. Behind the performance, AES delivered the temporary event infrastructure that expanded both the audience experience and the operational capability of the venue.
At Etihad Park, AES engineered and delivered a 51-metre stage extension together with a 26-metre thrust walkway leading to a secondary stage, extending the performance footprint and bringing the artists closer to the audience.
Beyond the performance areas, AES also delivered a customised Front of House (FOH) structure, scaffold wall extension, follow-spot towers and a dedicated camera platform, providing the technical infrastructure required to support a complex international touring production across multiple operational zones.
World-class live productions rely on infrastructure engineered with precision, safety and reliability. From stage extensions and technical platforms to production infrastructure, AES delivers temporary event solutions designed to support the demands of internationally recognised live productions.
