The Preparations for the event include aspects such as television broadcasting and stage design.

"The closeness to the people is crucial, and will happen through cameras in the gallery, social networking integration and tell the story of the contest, these are some of the challenges we have set ourselves," says Álex Hernández, director of the festival. To tell the story will be a projection of the former led bandshell. "The digital reconstruction of the bandshell is something protagonist, is a great way walking about 150 meters, maneuver, i.e. movement and interaction. They want to appeal to something nostalgic, "says Marcelo Rojas, director of Madis, the company in charge of stage design.
The scenario also includes a screen of 200 square meters, the largest that has been installed at a show in Chile, which will occupy the entire bottom, plus 150 meters side shields. "It is large, in order to give content to the music parallels besides the visual of each artist and to generate the skills and Festival Overture," says Hernandez. Another novelty is the construction of a place to the jury on the stage, right beside viewed from the front, in one of the walkways. "They assessed from above and be exposed in the show, being part of the show," adds the director.
