The 2009 Coachella Music festival is illuminated with the world's largest full-color laser; audiences were wowed by a stunning fusion of amazing live musical and laser performances.

160,000 attendees experience a massive 38W full color laser out-beaming an array of 7000W xenon fixtures, and an arsenal of the world's most advanced entertainment lasers illuminating on-stage performances for: Ghostland Oberservatory, Girl Talk, The Presets, The Chemical Brothers, TRV$DJAM, MSTRKRFT, Christopher Lawrence, Late of the Pier, and Groove Armada.

There is something magical about the synergy created by the smell of 5-million-volt generated ozone, simmering festival foods and the energy of hudreds of thousands of people gathered on a warm desert night for their favorite musical performances.  A pair of giant tesla coils send sparks dancing in the sky, accompanied by powerful colored laser beams.  The mix of sound from simulateous stage performances resonates in every direction.  Amazing fire breathing art installations are found at every turn, amidst unique geometric arrangements of LEDs, lighting, wood, and metal:  This is the Coachella music festival.

Lighwave provided lighting for the event, and intense lasers for Ghostland Observatory. Laser design for Ghostland Observatory earned Lightwave a 2009 ILDA Award - Second Place in the Live Performance category.  

Above, a ~20W orange laser beam 'competes' with the 'beam' of a 7000W xenon fixture. And the winner is..

The Ghostland Observatory and a collection of advanced Lightwave Prism Series lasers performing live. Do your lasers do THIS?

Sure, we have all seen green beams -- but how about CONGO laser beams penetrating miles into the sky?

Mmmmm... Lasers and Tesla Coils!
