Headlining a big festival! A look behind the scenes and what gear I am using

We recently headlined the 'Big' festival in Andalucia, Spain. What a buzz!
I filmed some of the build up so you can see what it's like on the day.

This was absolutely amazing. Never seen backstage to that extend. As others said: The amount and complexity of the setup is huge.
Thank you so much for sharing.

I can't imagine being so familiar with a big performance situation like this that you have the headspace to vlog the experience too. Thanks for the insight. So many flight cases it's overwhelming!

Man that was an awesome feeling ! to be on the stage while Jamiroquai is doing soundcheck,
Thank you for letting us viewers step in.

Jamiroquai is such an amazing band. Everyone is at the top of their game

[dobletada]

I was there! Definitely one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Congratulations!

Woah - you haven't played for several years, only rehearsed for four days, and then you have the nerves of steel to film with your phone right until you get on stage? Man, you're incredible! :)

[rwesreal]

Legendary Matt!! Thank you for the sneak peak into your world.

[janhansen]

It‘ s absolutely amazing what kind of work that is to build up the stage, the amps, the instruments, the mixer, the cables etc.. ❤

My band was playing the third night of fest but we all showed up the night before to catch Jamiroquai's set. I saw you taking video and it caught me by surprise. I yelled at them "Hey that's Jamirquai's keyboard player, I watch his videos all the time!" You can see me for split second at 6:24 lol! Set was killer we all had a great time!

best concert ive ever been to... you guys were incredible...

[GearZenChannel]

Thanks for sharing! The amount of setup is insane and the detail is incredible. I can't imagine getting every performer their desired mix for their in-ears let alone getting the right mix out to the front.

This is awesome. I've played some big festivals myself and when you're the headliner, you get treated as royalty. When you're the show opener, not so much but you still get treated well. At least that's how I found it. I'm glad you made this video so people can get an idea of what goes on and that it's not so much like party central like it was in the 80s.

Y'all's music has gotten me through some really tough times in my life. Thank you. Alll the best:)

[robertvonfeldt]

Nice to see live brass back in the set!

[MACRONOne]

[terrycordery]

Wow Matt, great insight into behind the scenes! Thanks so much!
Please bring out a new album!❤

[cateyedboy]

what memories! in 1997 I worked in jamiroquai backstage in Rome, I remember that an Italian friend of mine was engaged to someone from the band, I saw the show on stage next to the band and after work I went to the party !!

[PianoVampire]

This reminds me of how I miss playing big gigs! Great behind the scenes video, thanks!

[Semtx]

ooooh i loved this!
thanks so much to take us with you, and see a bit of how it all works behind the scenes
now im gonna listen to deeper undergorund, its been to long

[furiobisotti]

Thanks Matt. Being an amateur keyboard player is so exciting seeing a real stage of pro guys. You all rock. I hope to see you soon in Italy.
Funny, I always complain about sound on stage (and I sometimes play in very little pubs...), but I see that in big venues problem is still there.
Usually I fight with guitar players who can put their amps at insane volumes...!
