Triple Eight Live
Sound • Lighting • Weekend production
Lil Giant Festival 2026
Three days of bands, DJs and quick changeovers at Cerne Abbas Brewery—planned and operated from first soundcheck to the late-night finish.
The brief
Make a full festival weekend feel effortless.
Lil Giant brought bands, acoustic performers and DJs into a long, open-sided brewery barn. The production needed clear coverage, dependable monitoring and lighting that could transform the venue after dark—while keeping a busy programme moving smoothly.
Triple Eight Live, also known as 888 Live, planned and operated the technical package across all three days, adapting mixes and monitor requirements from act to act, supporting quick stage changes and managing sound levels responsibly throughout the weekend.
Across the weekend
A working venue by day. A festival after dark.
The same flexible sound and lighting system supported live bands, intimate performances, DJs and a late-night crowd without losing clarity or momentum.
