The event, which spanned an exhilarating five hours, attracted an impressive crowd of 16,000 attendees, making it the largest DJ set by a Danish artist in the arena’s history. TooManyLeftHands, celebrated for their diverse electronic music ranging from house to deep tech, collaborated with audio-visual experts at Profox to create a production that matched the soaring energy of their performance. The stage concept, ingeniously devised by Magicbox and Gravity Cph, fused cutting-edge technology with artistic creativity to ensure an immersive experience for all present.
Unique Challenges of Arena Shows
Producing visuals in a large arena poses unique challenges that require meticulous planning and execution. Content visibility from various angles, image stability, color accuracy, and reliable performance during extended shows are essential considerations. Fast build times and flexible screen layouts are also critical to preserving sightlines and stage aesthetics. After visiting Absen’s headquarters in Shenzhen, the Profox team found the company’s LED offerings not only captivating but also reliable—an important factor in building trust for such a monumental project.
The Power of the JP5 Pro
To meet the rigorous demands of this high-capacity event, the Profox team selected Absen’s high-performance rental LED screen, the JP5 Pro. With an impressive total backdrop size of 448 square meters, this screen was ideally suited for touring and live events. Its lightweight, durable design enabled flexible builds and creative staging that did not compromise sightlines.
The JP5 Pro is equipped with a pixel pitch of 5.2mm, offering stunning visuals with brightness levels of up to 5000 nits, 16-bit grayscale, and an incredible 7680Hz refresh rate. These specifications ensure that every detail remains vibrant and clear, even in the bustling atmosphere of a packed arena. The robust mechanical design further guarantees functionality through straightforward maintenance and a smooth installation process on show day.

At the heart of this remarkable visual design was the Absen LED technology, which delivered vivid, high-resolution content throughout the event. The high-impact visuals elevated key moments—from DJ close-ups to dynamic graphic transitions—maintaining audience engagement over the full five-hour performance. The collaboration between creative and technical teams resulted in a seamless experience that was as visually stimulating as it was sonically electrifying.
