Brass, ska and an outdoor summer programme
Big Brass Barbeque brought Melbourne Ska Orchestra to HOTA on 24 January 2026, led by Nicky Bomba. The programme also featured The Pokers, Heavy Wax and DJ sets from Tyron Noonan, with food trucks and barbecue alongside the music.
The family event formed part of the January long weekend on the Gold Coast. Krank'd's production schedule covered both Big Brass Barbeque and Australia Day at HOTA, with the Outdoor Stage providing the setting for the weekend's live performance work.
Building the outdoor stage package
Krank'd supplied and built the lighting rig. The package combined ACME AECO 5 and Mana Profile fixtures with Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 2s, STRIKE Bolt 1C fixtures and Nitec LED Blinder IIs. A grandMA3 Light supplied the control.
The profiles and moving fixtures supplied different ways to cover the band positions, while the blinders added a direct, audience-facing lighting format. A grandMA3 Light brought the supplied control into the same build. The combination served a live music weekend with both a large brass ensemble and smaller acts using the Outdoor Stage.
