Beyoncé

Beyoncé's concert on 17th May was not just a celebration of music; it put a spotlight on the dedication and expertise of the AQS team. As Beyoncé captivated an audience of thousands, the experienced AQS team of Litter Pickers, Lift Operators and Kitchen Porters played a vital role in ensuring the visitors enjoyed the best experience.

Litter picking for events on a large scale, such as this Beyonce concert, with visitors attending in their thousands, requires meticulous planning, something that the team deliver to the highest level of efficiency regularly at the Principality Stadium. After the fans had left the stadium, the AQS team sprang into action.

Our colleagues made sure discarded items were handled safely and in accordance with environmental regulations. Their efficiency was such that many people attending a concert the next day would never have known by the stadium’s look that there had been a full-blown world tour gig the night before.

The scale of a Beyoncé concert means thousands of refreshments, meals, and snacks. And where there's food and drink, there's a need for kitchen porters. AQS's kitchen portering team guaranteed everything ran like clockwork, from ensuring clean utensils to managing waste.

Coldplay

Coldplay, renowned for their awe-inspiring performances, took the stage at the Principality Stadium on the 6th and 7th of June.

Two nights of packed performances, each drawing a staggering 61,000 spectators, meant a massive logistical challenge, but for the AQS team, it was a tangible challenge, especially when combined with a sky full of balloons and a ground carpeted in confetti. These remnants of celebration, though indicative of a night well-spent, also signalled the onset of a colossal cleanup operation.

With around 250 dedicated AQS professionals at the helm each night, the task, though monumental, was systematically approached. While litter-picking teams wove through the remnants of a night filled with music, navigating discarded programs, cups, and the confetti-covered floor, kitchen porters ensured the refreshment areas and food counters reset for another evening of hungry fans.

Harry Styles

When Harry Styles took to the stage on the nights of 20th and 21st June at the Principality Stadium, fans knew they were in for an unforgettable experience. As the melodies of the former One Direction star echoed through the stadium, behind the scenes, the AQS team was gearing up for yet another masterclass in event cleaning.

Handling the aftermath of approximately 60,000 spectators is no small feat. Every concert brings its unique set of challenges, and for AQS, it was all about ensuring the venue remained in top condition, especially with back-to-back performances on the schedule.

The efficient cleanup after the first night was not just about maintaining the stadium's aesthetics, but also about ensuring a seamless experience for fans returning or attending the subsequent concert.
