OverView

For us, Appelpop is more than just a project—it’s where our passion for lighting live concerts was born. Kevin, our founder, has been involved since 1998, and that long-standing connection fuels our drive to create bigger, more spectacular experiences year after year. With over 125,000 festival-goers flocking to Appelpop, Kelight has been the creative force behind its unparalleled visual music experience. As the festival’s trusted lighting design partner, we’ve brought every stage to life, and ensures Appelpop remains one of the most visually captivating music festivals in the Netherlands.

The Challenge

Appelpop needed more than just stage lighting. The festival required a comprehensive design that maximized impact while staying within budget constraints. The lighting had to unify the diverse lineup of touring artists and create a consistent visual identity for the festival, all while amplifying the energy of each performance.

The Solution

Our goal with stage lighting is simple: to elevate show lighting so that it becomes an extension of the music, forging a deep emotional connection between the artists and the audience. For Appelpop, we designed lighting that went beyond illuminating the stage—it became the festival’s visual signature. This approach allowed touring lighting operators to seamlessly enhance their own shows while maintaining a consistent, recognizable festival identity.

The Result

The outcome was nothing short of electric. Appelpop’s stages were transformed into immersive worlds of light, sound, and energy, delivering a live concert experience that resonated with over 125,000 festival-goers. Year after year, Kelight continues to redefine the festival’s look, creating a space where both artists and audiences thrive. The lighting design doesn’t just support the show—it drives it, making each set feel larger than life and ensuring Appelpop remains an unforgettable experience for the audience.
