Motherland Stage - Backwoods Sets New Bar for Music Festivals

Motherland StageMotherland, Backwoods Music Festival's largest stage this year where Porter Robinson, Infected Mushroom, and Odesza are playing is setting a new bar for music festivals in the midwest. The stage is many steps beyond that of the traditional main stage found at music festivals around the country. While there are a few major festivals out there known for their amazing artwork and effort put into the stage design itself, most festivals including some of the biggest and the majority of all mid size fests, rely solely on a large stage with lighting and 10-12' square video screens mounted to the side. While the lighting may be intense at times, the creativity that's missing from the stage structure itself really affects the overall experience of the festival.Will Royall, one of the Executive Producers of Backwoods Music Festival said, "We really want to do something different for the area. There are a few festivals in the mid-west that do great with their lineups and they draw crowds, but when I see photos of the stages and environments they're putting those people in, to me they still just look like concerts." Royall is not just focused on the music, he went on, he's really trying to create an overall environment for every venue at the festival that surrounds the attendees. "We're working on one environment right now yet to be announced that will have a 50' flame shooting from the center of a giant light throwing disco ball, and 6 flaming towers surrounding you with video walls and speakers on each. This means you'll be surrounded 360 degrees with surround sound, LED walls, and fire." he continued.The Motherland Stage, is a new concept for Backwoods Music Festival which also surrounds the crowd. The Front of House (where audio and lighting is typically controlled from) is designed as part of the stage and adds to the experience located behind the audience. The FOH area is large enough to be a small stage itself, and will not only house lighting, video, and sound techs but also contains a raised platform for artists, producers, and Backstage VIPs to get an elevated view of the show on stage, above the crowds. The stage itself will be larger than your standard 40' stage you see for other festival's main stages, and may end up at 100' wide with the addition of two 20' wide towers on each side, and a performance platform of 60'.Fader-Motherland-stage-B8-FOH1Motherland's design is called "The Castle" and was concepted by Backwoods' Creative Stage Designer, James Cui, otherwise known as VJ Fader. We asked Fader a few questions regarding his design.

1. What was the inspiration behind the design?

"It is inspired by the German Gothic castle designs from the Medieval period. The design features two giant towers measuring about 80’ tall standing on either side of the main stage. Each tower is faced with a huge 25’ tall LED video screen for displaying visual and live video. On the stage there’s another very large oval shaped LED video screen resembling the shape of an eye. We will be using lots of recycled wood and fabric as building materials for this stage."

2. Can you explain the eye looking structure at the top center and what the meaning behind that is?

"What I am trying to do here is to create a focal point for the Motherland stage. With a ‘castle’ and ‘medieval’ theme, a strong eye symbol keeps coming into my mind. The ‘eye’ module that is attached to the center of the triangular shaped stage roof is a light module construction. It will shine strong beams of light into the audience at night, as if the Motherland stage is staring into the crowd."Motherland Eye

3. With designing the front of house (FOH) to mimic the stage, what does this do for the experience?

"The front of house (FOH) is often most overlooked area at a live concert. This is where the lighting designer, sound engineer and VJ is operating during a show. Although the music is being played on the stage by a band or a DJ, the visual aspect of the show is mostly being controlled at the FOH. You can think of it as the ‘heart' of the show. Most people do not realize this fact. Just as most people only recognize the famous actors of their favorite films, but in reality is there are a great team of talented people including the director, cinematographer, editor… etc. behind every great movie. Same is true for a great concert experience.At Backwoods Music Festival this year we are integrating the FOH design into the overall main stage design of ’The Castle', so you won’t see a typical large white tent stuck in the middle of the dance floor. We are including a Backstage VIP area as part of the FOH structure so people can see how the stage magic is created. The FOH has the best vantage point of the stage because of its raised deck. We will give the opportunity to Backstage guests who purchase cabins and artists to enjoy the show on the Motherland main stage from the best seat of the house, the FOH."

4. What challenges have you had so far in designing the stage?

"As a stage designer I often try to push the scale and not think about budget or gravity at first. Once the design goes forward then I would work with the lighting/construction company to figure out how to make it into a reality. I would say this is the most challenging part. Budget, safety and local regulations often comes into play where I will need to make revisions. At the end the goal is to stick with the look and feel and not compromise the integrity and impact of the original design."

5. By construction standards this stage is massive, much bigger than most main stages at most main events. How would this compare to say, a Blue Whale?

"It is safe to say that we are going BIG this year as Backwoods is growing. But more importantly we are giving back to the people and offering them a 'bigger than life' sonic and visual experience."****You can learn a little more about Fader's work here.Backwoods is really stepping their game up this year with production. The festival is investing an amount of capital equivalent to twice the normal amount for a festival its size in production. "We want to blow people's minds so they can't help but come back next year and bring all of their friends. And why not, they're paying for this, it's their party." said Javi Guillan, another Executive Producer at Backwoods.Fader-Motherland-stage-B8-close2

Oklahoma Music Festivals

Music festivals in Oklahoma seem to be few and far between when you're talking about the good ones. We've rounded up a short list here of festivals in Oklahoma, and while it may not be complete list of Oklahoma music festivals, it definitely showcases the notable ones that we ourselves would consider attending.

#1) Backwoods Music Festival

The Largest Camping and Music Festival in Oklahoma - moved to Arkansas in 2018!

This is by far the best overall value for your money, although not in Oklahoma any more. (It’s now in Arkansas) This festival, born in Oklahoma, includes all types of music including electronic, folk, jam bands, future funk, dance, reggae, psychedelic rock, indie, blues, dubstep, and more. This cross-genre festival has an amazing enchanted wooded area called the Nirvana Woodlands littered with art and lighting installations. There are firework shows, an LED Ferris Wheel, and waterfalls. Backwoods has been around in some form or fashion for the last 13 years. Compared to Electric Forest, EDC, Wakarusa, Summer Camp, and others this festival has put Oklahoma on the map for those that travel the country looking for the most amazing events and biggest artists.

Where: Ozark, AR
When: April 20th-23rd
Why: Mountains, waterfalls, camping, Ferris Wheel, multiple stages, decorated art and lights in the woods, 150+ artists. The best way to spend your Weekend. Start your summer with a bang. If PLUR is a value you live by.

#2) Center of the Universe Festival

Tulsa’s Downtown Music Festival

This festival has become known as Tulsa’s music festival showcasing mostly rock, folk, and country artists. While this festival does not have camping it has grown to be one of the largest festivals in the state in terms of attendance by sheer location alone. Multiple stages are showcased throughout the downtown area and many side shows happen in the bars themselves. To many, this event may be described more as a series of concerts.

Where: Tulsa, Boston Avenue pedestrian bridge between Archer and First Street
When: July 24-25th
Why: Listen to 100+ bands including Rock, Soul, Punk, Pop, and Indie while you support the Brady Arts District and Tulsa Public Schools

#3) Rocklahoma

A Huge Rock-N-Roll Camping Festival in Oklahoma

Whip out your long hair and put your lighters in the air. This festival has some of the biggest names in rock-n-roll to grace it’s stages. The event is strictly rock, punk, and heavy metal. Forget about the art, this event is about beer and rock-n-roll.

Where: Pryor, Campgrounds on Rd 450
When: May 22-24th Memorial Day Weekend
Why: A good way to spend Memorial Day weekend if you like rock-n-roll. Enjoy camping and a famous rock-n-roll line-up

#4) Easter Island Festival

A Smaller Camping and Music Event in Oklahoma

This event has a little more than 30 artists on two stages. While not a huge event, the event is a good start to the summer season. It’s mostly grassroots local bands with a couple bands brought in from out of town annually. Mostly jam bands, folk, and country. This is a great way to tap into the local scene.

Where: Keetonville, Valley Park Sports Complex
When: April 9-12th
Why: Celebrate the birth of spring while camping and listening grassroots music by 30+ bands on 2 stages.

Music Festival Clothing - Men & Women's Fashion

Deciding what to wear to a music festival can take some considerable amount of time given that most people not only want to be comfortable, but fashionable too. Music festival clothing has always been one of the ways festival attendees express themselves at events. Men and women alike have unique styles, and depending upon your personality, you may find different music festival clothing pieces more attractive than others. Here's a few ideas to get you started for your trip to Backwoods Music Festival, or any other festival you find yourself purchasing tickets to!

Rave Wear

If you're the raver type, here are some ideas to get you going. Look for light up clothing or make your own using L-wires. Leg warmers, lace, and skimpy outfits are popular for girls. Guys have been trending lately by wearing brightly colored word tees and hats. Kandi has been popular since the beginning of time in the rave world and has recently made a comeback. If you have some, expect to trade with someone else through the community's PLUR hand clasp.

Boho Fashion

Boho fashion is the music festival clothing style for today's hippy. Beautiful, light, flowing, sexy, free, and young are the words that come to mind when describing what boho is. The seasoned festival veteran may find themselves trending towards this style rather than a straight up rave outfit, although you may see some influences in outfits of both. Here are some ideas for the beautiful hippie in you.
