Dino Activations Egypt
Terraplas partnered with Dino Activations to support a landmark moment in Egypt’s live entertainment industry: transforming a natural grass stadium into a world-class concert arena for major live shows.
Hosting a large-scale concert on natural grass in Egypt had never been done before, and the stadium needed assurance that it could be done without compromising the grass’s integrity or incurring high repair costs.
The concerns included:
- Extreme heat and intense sun exposure
- Sensitive natural turf requiring airflow, protection and preservation
- Heavy production equipment and staging loads
- High-density audience footfall
- Fast installation and removal requirements
With no history of stadium concerts of this scale on real grass in Egypt, Dino needed a proven solution that could deliver both performance and pitch preservation.
Terraplas supplied its cutting-edge turf protection system, designed specifically for major stadium events and high-capacity audiences.
To support Dino’s vision of hosting concerts across multiple stadiums in Cairo, Terraplas also developed several overlay options, offering flexible flooring configurations to suit different stage layouts and event formats. This ensured the system could be adapted for a range of productions, from world-renowned headline artists to smaller, more intimate concerts and events.
To ensure the success of the first event, Terraplas also provided expert on-site supervisors to guide the installation process, ensuring a smooth delivery and providing valuable skill transfer to the Dino Activations team.
The Terraplas flooring solution provided:
- High load-bearing capacity to support staging, equipment and large crowds.
- Integrated ventilation design to allow airflow, ability for sunlight to continue to reach the turf and no damage.
- Reliable surface stability for audience movement and safety.
- Proven performance in international stadium environments with heavy footfall.
- Efficient installation and removal to minimise downtime.
- Flexible overlay configurations to support different stage settings and event sizes.
- On-site expert supervision and training to support successful installation and long-term capability.
This successful partnership meant that, for the first time in Egypt, they were able to host incredible live shows whilst being assured that the turf would be protected and preserved.
Terraplas helped Dino deliver:
- A premium stadium concert environment.
- A safe, stable surface for large-scale crowd access.
- Protection of the natural grass pitch despite extreme heat.
- The opportunity for live entertainment capability in Egypt.
This successful partnership proves that Egyptian stadiums can host world-class concerts while protecting and preserving their natural surfaces.
