The Voodoo wagons and trucks were out in full force in 2012, it’s hard to miss them, so get spotting. 2012 started at a great pace, as well as the usual pre season prep work we had Florence and the Machine as well as The Black Keys at Alexandra Palace. We also returned to Aintree for the Grand National which was  our first outside event of the year, unfortunately the weather was not that great but the cold beer more than made up for it. Our wizardry skills were in full effect at the hugely anticipated BBC Radio 1 weekend at Hackney, with 60,000 people this has to be the biggest and best free event ever. The mighty Stone Roses had their reunion in Manchester, which was beyond crazy. These coupled with all our usual events such as V Festival, T in The Park and The Isle of Wight Festival meant that hundreds of thousands of people enjoyed some Voodoo magic this summer.

For English football fans the holy grail must be the Bobby Moore suite at Wembley stadium, the perfect view of the perfect pitch needed the perfect pint. So we took a big gulp when we were asked to create some new bars at the renowned Wembley stadium, especially when the beer had to be served at  2 degrees or below.  2 degrees?  We thought about it and knew using our beer wizardry we could do better. By having bespoke python’s and cooling equipment all of the bars Voodoo has installed at Wembley are operating consistently at 0 degrees, with the ability to go colder (if you really want to!).  It just goes to show that those companies who invest in the development of their dispense systems coupled with our expertise can achieve the impossible in product dispense, speed, temperature and quality.

Muse 2010

2010 saw Voodoo induct and train some new wizards for what was a cracking year. We kicked off the season with the traditional curtain raiser of Radio One’s big weekend, this time in Bangor (north Wales). It was then onto another Bangor. This time in Northern Ireland for Snow Patrol’s homecoming. The band tours were happening thick and fast with Rage against the machine in London and Green Day in both Manchester and Ireland. We also covered both Oxegen and T in the Park over the same weekend for the first time. 2010 saw us at the Big Chill festival for the first time, although the late night bars took the chill out of it!! August continued to be manic with the V Festivals followed closely by Reading Festival and then the summer season finished as it started with another band tour, this time it was the turn of Muse and Ozzy Osborne. After a brief rest the Voodoo crew were to finish the year in the snow in Manchester and London for Madness and Deadmau5.

Wembley Stadium

Q4 2009 saw us secure a contract with Wembley stadium to build new ‘super bars’ for the Gold and Silver suite Club Wembley members.

By employing cutting edge technology and a bespoke design, Voodoo delivered our coldest pint ever with a running average temperature of 0.0 degrees on lager – excellent for a venue such as Wembley who need to pre-pour for all the half time thirsty drinkers, and still present them with ice cold beer – pure magic!
