This June, Upstage Crew Services had the opportunity of assisting in the set up and take down of the G2 stage structure for the Luke Combs concert. This concert event, held at Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah, was a great opportunity for Upstage to demonstrate its general labor capabilities by installing the stadium floor covering and stage decking as well as showcasing our skilled rigging team in action. The client, AEG Presents, was impressed with our speed and team camaraderie. Our team loves what they do and it shows in their work! Way to rock it team Upstage!
