Returning in 2025 as production partner, Method took the reins in the execution of this fan-favourite live music series - planning and operating eleven concerts across three consecutive weekends in August. We designed an open and accessible site, with all eyes on the stage. Once again, we floated the stage on the water, but this year we extended the stage to maximise live performance space and immersive visuals. Around it, the site came alive with a plethora of considered food and beverage offerings whilst a secluded VIP area, nestled in the trees, offered elevated views and hospitality experiences. Our technical team worked tirelessly to ensure crystal clear sound could be heard across the bowl, whilst our operations teams ensured the smooth running of the event from start to finish.

With our return to South Facing, it wasn’t just about the music; it was about site sensitivity. Our team worked hand in hand with ecology and heritage consultants to ensure every aspect of our build respected the park’s natural character. From routing infrastructure around protected trees to adapting layouts to fit the existing landscape, we struck a careful balance between putting on a show and looking after the space. We worked closely with Crystal Palace Park Trust to ensure that we minimally impacted the park; leaving the site exactly as we found it, ready to be enjoyed by the community long after the final encore. Operating within a nationally significant heritage landscape is a responsibility we take seriously, and South Facing was a testament to how live events can coexist with, and celebrate, the history and environment that surrounds them. We utilised thoughtful approaches to nature through tree protection plans, maintaining duck access routes and thorough ground reinstatement - safeguarding the park’s ecology at every stage. We are proud to create standout live experiences that feel at home in the spaces that host them.
