Forbidden Fruit 2026 – Event Infrastructure Delivery

Overview

One Event Infrastructure delivered a comprehensive package of temporary event infrastructure for Forbidden Fruit 2026, followed by the Addison Rae concert at Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

The project involved the installation of multiple performance areas, audience infrastructure and production support systems before transitioning the site between two different event formats within a compressed programme.

Scale at a Glance

• Multiple performance stages across the site

• Front-of-stage barrier systems

• Accessible viewing platforms

• Front of House platforms

• PA support towers and screen structures

• Temporary access routes and ditch crossings

• Ground protection systems

• Production support infrastructure

Programme & Delivery

The initial festival build was completed within a one-week programme, followed by a two-day transition to reconfigure the site for the subsequent headline concert.

Working within the historic grounds of Royal Hospital Kilmainham required careful planning, coordinated sequencing and close collaboration with production teams and other contractors to maintain programme throughout.
