Big Easy Welcomes NEMO to the Roster

We’re thrilled to announce the newest addition to the Big Easy Touring family: NEMO, the groundbreaking Swiss artist redefining pop with fearless creativity, powerful vocals, and genre-defying style.

At Big Easy, we pride ourselves on working with artists who push boundaries and bring something truly original to the global stage—and NEMO fits that ethos perfectly. With a sound that weaves together elements of pop, electronic, classical, and hip-hop, and a message rooted in authenticity and identity, NEMO is more than an artist—they’re a movement.

After captivating audiences across Europe with their unforgettable performances and most recently winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the now-iconic track "The Code", NEMO has become an international symbol of unapologetic self-expression. The win not only cemented their status as a world-class performer, but also opened doors to a massive global audience hungry for something new, bold, and deeply human.

NEMO's live show is where their true power lies: dramatic and emotionally charged. As we look ahead to the next chapter of their live career, Big Easy Touring is honored to be handling tour and production management. 

We are already hard at work with NEMO’s team on a number of exciting plans for 2025 and beyond. 

NEMO is not only a rising star—they’re a cultural catalyst. Their message of self-discovery, breaking binaries, and owning your truth resonates far beyond music. With a growing global fanbase and a distinctive sonic identity, this is an artist poised to leave a lasting legacy—and we’re here to make sure the live side reflects that in every way.

Here’s to pushing limits, elevating artistry, and creating unforgettable moments with every show.

Stay tuned on socials for upcoming tour announcements, festival dates, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content. We’re ready to build something incredible with NEMO.

Let’s go!

Glasto Recap 2025

Behind the Scenes with Big Easy Touring

Another year, another Glastonbury – but 2025 felt different. Bigger, and more unforgettable than ever. For the Big Easy Touring crew, this year’s festival wasn’t just another date in the calendar – it was a full blown showcase of what we do best: delivering seamless, high-impact production and touring support for some of the UK’s most exciting artists.

We’re incredibly proud of what our team achieved on the ground. From early prep work in the weeks before the gates opened, to packing up after the final set, every element was powered by dedication, precision, and a whole lot of heart.

From Start to Stage: Full Tour & Production Management

When artists land a Glastonbury slot, it’s more than just a performance—it’s a statement. It means playing one of the most iconic festivals on earth, and our role is to make sure that experience runs flawlessly, start to finish.

Our tour and production management teams were deeply involved from day one. That meant:

  • Prepping artist schedules and travel logistics

  • Building stage plans and audio ‘to do’ lists

  • Managing rehearsals and equipment prep

  • Co-ordinating with Glastonbury's production staff and stage managers

  • Aligning every technical requirement, from FOH to backline

The complexity of managing multiple artists across a site like Worthy Farm cannot be overstated. But that’s where we thrive—getting into the details, staying calm under pressure, and ensuring the artists are free to focus on their performances.

Custom Audio & Production Packages Built for the Festival Environment

Every act has different needs, and Glasto’s dynamic environment (plus its legendary weather) means flexibility and durability are key. Our team provided customised audio and production packages tailored to each artist’s performance setup.

This included:

  • FOH and monitor consoles from Allen & Heath

  • Microphones and RF systems from Sennheiser, SE Electronics, and Shure

  • Rugged stage racks and line systems for fast festival changeovers

  • Custom-built touring racks and DI setups, designed to be road-ready and stage-efficient

We work with industry-leading gear because we know reliability is non-negotiable. At a festival like Glastonbury, where seconds count and gear needs to withstand any possible scenario, our systems delivered across the board.

Crew Power: FOH, Monitors, Techs, and More

A major part of what makes Big Easy Touring tick is our crew. We don’t just send bodies—we send the right people: talented, experienced, and calm when under festival pressures..

For Glastonbury 2025, we deployed a fully rounded team of FOH engineers, Monitor engineers and Backline techs

Having multiple teams spread across the site meant we could support overlapping show days and artist sets without compromise. Vans rolled in and out with gear and crew, while Jamie kept everyone aligned on timing, location, and any last-minute curveballs (and yes, there were a few).

Advancing, Coordination & On-Site Ops

Festivals run on tight timelines, so solid advancing is key. Our back-office team worked hard on:

  • Liaising with Glastonbury’s production team

  • Ensuring rider requirements were met

  • Confirming tech specs, arrival times, and backline

  • Providing artists and managers with complete day-by-day schedules

Once we were on-site, our show day operations team stepped in to manage:

  • Load-ins and changeovers

  • Artist movement and scheduling

  • Soundchecks and line checks

It’s a crazy experience to say the least, but with the right planning and crew, the chaos becomes controlled—and we love it.

Artist Highlights – A Huge Year on the Pyramid, Avalon & BBC Introducing

While every performance was special, a few moments truly stood out—and we’re so proud to have been part of them.

CMAT – Pyramid Stage & Secret Set Energy

The ever-iconic CMAT and her band brought unmatched charisma and style to the Pyramid Stage, delivering a performance packed with drama, humour, and polished pop. We handled full production support, from stage audio to tech support, and couldn’t be prouder of how the show landed.

As if that wasn’t enough, CMAT and the Very Sexy CMAT Band surprised everyone with a secret set on the BBC Introducing stage on Saturday, proving once again why they’re one of the most dynamic live acts around.

Rachel Chinouriri – Absolutely killing it at Avalon

Another standout was Rachel Chinouriri, who took to the Avalon Stage and delivered what we can only call a masterclass. Her set was smooth, emotional, and pitch-perfect—no surprise there. Our crew handled her FOH and monitor support, ensuring the sound matched the energy of her performance.

Orla Gartland – Captivating Crowds on Avalon

Orla Gartland brought all the vibes to her Avalon set, commanding the crowd from start to finish. It was one of those moments where everything clicked—the crowd, the sound, the energy. Our team managed her full production package and made sure every sonic detail hit home.

Massive Gratitude to Our Crew

It’s easy to talk about gear and logistics, but none of this would happen without the incredible Big Easy Touring crew. These are the people loading cases at 6 AM, troubleshooting RF during changeovers, and making sure the vibe stays positive no matter how intense the day gets.

The feedback we’ve had from artists, managers, and Glastonbury staff has been nothing short of glowing, and that’s down to the commitment, professionalism, and creativity of our team.

From FOH to backstage, from stage right to the splitter van—you’re the reason this all works.

Looking Ahead

Glastonbury 2025 will go down as one of our proudest moments. It reminded us why we do what we do: to support artists in bringing their best to the stage, and to help them shine in the moments that matter most.

We’re already looking ahead to the next chapter—with more tours, festivals, and unforgettable performances on the horizon.

If you’re an artist, manager, or production lead looking for a team that lives and breathes live music, we’d love to hear from you.
