Vantage Production Group by Sound Works

This past weekend our team at Vantage Production Group was proud to return to Northwestern University for another incredible Dillo Day production.

As the largest student-produced event in the country, Dillo Day is one of the most unique collegiate events in the nation, and we were honored to once again provide all Audio, Lighting, Video, Staging, and Site Management across 3 stages throughout the festival site.

Held on Northwestern’s Lakefill along the shore of Lake Michigan, the event brings a unique set of logistical and production challenges each year, from limited access and infrastructure needs to navigating weather and sound control near surrounding campus and residential areas.

This marked our 11th year supporting the event, and it continues to be one of the highlights of our season. This year’s lineup featured performances from Daya and Malcolm Todd along with an incredible full day of music and entertainment.

A huge thank you to our entire crew whose hard work, long hours, and dedication helped make another successful Dillo Day possible. We are incredibly thankful for the continued trust from the students and staff at Northwestern and are already looking forward to year 12!

What a week in Phoenix! 🔥
Proud to have powered HYROX Phoenix – a U.S. Major event that featured the Elite 15 Female, Elite 15 Male, and Pro Doubles divisions, along with over 15,000 age-group athletes competing across four days.

Our team delivered end-to-end production — Audio, Lighting, Video, and Content Management — keeping the energy high, the experience immersive, and the competition running smoothly from first heat to final finish.
This event also marked the debut of two new signature elements for HYROX:
🏁 Elite 15 LED Finisher Arch — a bold visual centerpiece for the final moments of competition.
🚦 Elite 15 Start Lighting System — a dynamic, randomized start cue that simultaneously triggers the race timing system, ensuring precision and excitement at every launch.

Huge thanks to the HYROX team, the athletes, and everyone behind the scenes who made this massive production come together. On to the next one!
