The CMA, Centre de Musiques Ampli ées (or: Center for Ampli ed Music) is a public
establishment with two major tasks:
1.
Rockhal manages and operates the building called the “Ampli ed Music Center” in Esch-Belval
while respecting its priority vocation of serving production and organisation of ampli ed music
concerts.
2.
Rocklab: Fostering artistic creation by providing spaces and support systems for
both professional and amateur musicians.
This fusion of Rockhal and Rocklab forms a powerful alliance that brings artists' musical
projects to life, evoking intense and unforgettable emotions for audiences through live
performances. Our guiding principle is clear: « Where Music Matters. »
A premier venue for amplified music
Rockhal is not just a venue; it's a temple of sound, meticulously designed to cater to the
unique demands of amplified music. By attracting internationally renowned artists to
Luxembourg and serving as a launchpad for local talent, Rockhal has established itself as a
beacon in the European music scene.
Our venue comprises four versatile spaces, each tailored to meet the highest standards of
global artists. The technical facilities are state-of-the-art, the hospitality is second to none,
and the security is robust, ensuring every event runs smoothly. With capacities ranging from
180 to 6.500 people, along with an expansive outdoor square, Rockhal is equipped to
provide an unparalleled experience for both performers and audiences.
Member of European Arenas Association
As a proud member of the European Arenas Association (EAA), Rockhal stands among
Europe's elite venues. This membership underscores our commitment to excellence and
positions us as a technical and operational reference point within the continent. Being part
of the EAA means that Rockhal adheres to the highest standards of quality and innovation.
Advanced lighting control across Rockhal
After thorough evaluation, Rockhal has chosen Visual Productions lighting control solutions
to manage the lighting in its main areas: FOYER, FLOOR, CLUB, and MAIN HALL. This
implementation includes a variety of Visual Productions controllers, such as the CueCore3,
which illuminates the expansive foyer, and multiple DaliCores that handle the lighting over
the bar stations in the Foyer.
While these controllers are not utilized for on-stage entertainment lighting, they govern all
other mood, special atmosphere, and accent lighting across the venue, including the VIP
area. The RdmRelays offer an added layer of security, enabling the shutdown of entire areas
if lights are accidentally left on.
Seamless integration and user-friendly operation
A sophisticated computer and DMX network ensures the seamless integration of MA
Lighting's MA2onPC in-house systems with other temporary lighting control equipment.
Strategically placed Kiosc Touch devices from Visual Productions provide localized lighting
control throughout the venue. These custom-designed, user-friendly interfaces allow even
unskilled staff to manage the lighting efficiently.
Initially, Rockhal installed 17 different Visual Productions devices. Recently, an additional
34 devices were added, marking the beginning of a new phase. Now, nearly all non-
entertainment lighting, from the MAIN HALL to the VIP area, TERRACE, and TOILETS, will be
managed by Visual Productions controllers. This comprehensive yet user-friendly system
ensures optimal lighting control throughout the venue.
At Rockhal, Elmar Hubert, Head of Venue & Technical, along with his team, including
Lighting & Video Technician Loïc Blaszczyk, have designed and implemented an impressive,
integrated lighting control system. The intuitive Kiosc Touch layouts allow for hassle-free
operation by engineers, production staff, or security officers.
With the latest addition of lighting control gear, Visual Productions continues to play a
pivotal role in Rockhal's ongoing advancements in lighting technology.
