The Edison is one of the oldest music prizes in the world. Only the American Grammy is one year older than the Dutch Edison! The Edison Pop Awards is a yearly prize for artists who, with their records, work of that year, and the best performance, are judged by a jury in their genre.
The first Edison awards were given at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. They lasted seven hours and featured over 50 acts, but only five received an Edison. Fast-forward to 2017. So, presenter Eric Corton announced 21 winners on that Tuesday night under the presence of many nominees and fellow artists. Some winners were Anouk, Douwe Bob, Kensington, Martin Garrix, Typhoon, and more!
On behalf of Kingcanary, Backbone conducted the technical production and overlay management. Besides, we transformed the stage design by Kingcanary, Treat, and Live Legends into a reality. We ensured the design, purchase, and implementation of all technical and decoder facilities, stands, and all overlay material. The show consisted of performances by several top Dutch artists, and awards were given out. Some awards include Best Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Dance, An Old Price, and more. So, for this private corporate event, Backbone was the technical partner via Kingcanary.
