Lighting hire / Gold Coast
Stage and event lighting hire on the Gold Coast.
Krank'd is a Gold Coast stage and event lighting company, working from our warehouse in Arundel. We design, supply and operate lighting across the Gold Coast and into the Tweed and Northern Rivers: festivals, concerts, theatre, corporate nights and community events, run by a local crew who knows the venues.

Based on the Gold Coast since 2017, we know the rooms, the venues and the festival sites. The rig leaves from our Arundel warehouse, so load-ins are quick, support is local, and the gear is scoped to the gig, not a generic package. Need the same crew up the M1? We also run production lighting hire in Brisbane.
Gold Coast venues: HOTA and The Star
Much of our Gold Coast work has been at HOTA. We designed and ran the Mayor's Christmas Carols there, lit for the live audience and a TV broadcast at once. We also lit La Clique in the round, and both sponsored and supplied extra lighting for the Gold Coast Music Awards' 10th anniversary. At The Star Gold Coast we designed and operated the OUT OF THIS WORLD after party for 3,000 guests.
Festivals and outdoor stages
On the HOTA Outdoor Stage we designed the lighting for How to Make Gravy, Live in Concert at the 2025 AACTA Festival, where Paul Kelly sang the song behind the film. For Goldy's WUNDERBAR on the same stage, Ben Veitch designed the light and we supplied the infrastructure. Cavalcade, the BLEACH* 2025 finale on Kurrawa Beach, was our design and our rig. The rest of our BLEACH* story is on the festival lighting hire page.
Community, civic and corporate events
On the Great Lawn at the Broadwater Parklands in Southport, Easter United 2025 ran from afternoon stage acts into an evening service, and we supplied the lighting for both. In Murwillumbah we lit the Tweed Regional Museum's 20th anniversary street party, then came back in 2025 to design the lighting for the Museum Street Party with Tweed Regional Council. Galas and awards nights sit under corporate event lighting; plays, dance and orchestras under theatre lighting hire.
