News · 2006 to 2018
News from Mojo Barriers since 2006: tours, festivals and venues worldwide. Mojo barrier systems have supported world tours by the Rolling Stones, U2 and Taylor Swift, festivals such as Glastonbury and Roskilde, and events from the London 2012 Games to the G20 summit in Brisbane.
Selected reports
At Glastonbury Festival 2017, Mojo Barriers supplied 1,400 metres of aluminium stage barrier to 16 stages and set up new gates at a known queuing point. For Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour in 2015, Mojo covered 71 of the 85 dates, with 850 feet of barrier around the stadium thrust.
For the G20 summit in Brisbane in 2014, Mojo designed the High Fence and set up more than 2,000 metres of it across the city. At London 2012, 700 metres of barrier at each of three train stations and 1,000 metres across the BT London Live sites guided passengers and visitors. Straight sections, corners, gates and the Mojo High Fence are part of today's Mojo product range.
Festival
In its 13th year at the festival, Mojo Barriers supplied 1,400 metres of aluminium stage barrier to 16 stages. New gates between the arena and the campsite reduced queuing at a known bottleneck.
World tour
Mojo Barriers supplied crowd barriers for 71 of the 85 tour dates: all 63 North American shows and eight in Europe. At stadium dates, 850 feet of barrier ran around a thrust into the audience.
Product launch
For the summit on 15 and 16 November 2014, Mojo Barriers designed Mojo High Fence: sections 1 m wide and 2.4 m high with a see-through polycarbonate upper. Doors and gates in the line allowed fire safety and egress regulations to be met.
Major event
Mojo Barriers set up 700 metres of barrier at each of St Pancras, Ebbsfleet and Stratford stations to channel passengers towards the venues. At the three BT London Live sites, 1,000 metres of barrier served concerts, sporting events and screenings for over 1.4 million visitors.
