Festivals

Festivals run on compressed timelines, multi-stage complexity, and weather that doesn't care about the schedule. Months of planning collapse into a handful of build days. RockForce shows up with the union crews, rigging, production management, and payroll infrastructure that turn a site plan into a working festival — and strike it clean before the ground thaws.

The Category

Built Fast. Run Hot. Struck Clean.

Festivals compress an entire live production cycle into days, not months. Multi-stage load-ins, union jurisdictions crossing state and local lines, weather contingencies, and a crowd counted in five or six digits — all converging on a site that didn't exist a week ago. RockForce is built for that cadence: crew deployed at scale, rigging engineered to the site, and payroll infrastructure that moves as fast as the trucks.

What We Bring

Every Discipline. One Accountable Partner.

RockForce serves festivals through an integrated ecosystem of operating companies. One point of accountability across workforce, rigging, production, payroll, and safety — so promoters and festival operators aren't stitching together a vendor quilt the week before doors.

Workforce Solutions

Union and non-union crew deployment across multi-stage festival sites — local stewards, travel teams, and specialty trades, scaled up on build days and down through strike. From IATSE grounds to non-union markets, RockForce brings the relationships and workforce depth to staff any jurisdiction.

Rigging

ETCP-certified rigging for main stages, side stages, video walls, and art installations. Engineered to the site, documented to the inspector.

Event & Production Services

Production management, site supervision, and technical coordination through The Production Collective — end-to-end ownership of the build, the show days, and the strike.

Employer of Record

Collective Payroll (A RockForce Company) can also serve as the Employer of Record, expanding your bandwidth while reducing employment-related risk.

Human Resources & Payroll Administration

Multi-state payroll, union reporting, and EOR services through Collective Payroll — so festival organizers can move crew across jurisdictions without the back-office drag.

Safety & Training

OSHA-compliant safety programs, ETCP-aligned rigging training, and on-site safety leadership for sites where weather, crowd, and build pace all move together.

Record of Excellence

Festivals We've Elevated

Festivals don't get postponed for weather. They don't get extra build days. The names below are the festivals we've staffed, rigged, produced, and paid across compressed schedules and shifting jurisdictions — the ones where the crew has to make the show work between the gate and the headliner.

EDC — Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas, NV

RockForce has been providing our labor for our festival properties for years, always delivering skilled crews focused on safety and efficiency. Our production especially benefits from the consistency they bring from market to market.
