Solidays, a festival where safety and experience must coexist.

Solidays is one of the largest music and solidarity festivals in France. Held every year in Paris, the event brings together international artists and more than 65,000 festivalgoers per day around a shared commitment: supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Across a 30-hectare site, flow management becomes a critical challenge. Between the main stages, food areas, access points, and sensitive zones, crowd movements constantly evolve and require real-time anticipation capabilities.

To ensure both public safety and a seamless festival experience, Solidays relies on CORE to transform its video infrastructure into a true operational management tool.

Visible Results from Day One.

Thanks to real-time visibility into crowd flows and densities, Solidays improves its anticipation capabilities and strengthens overall festival safety. Teams gain responsiveness, coordination, and operational control across the entire site.

↓ 30 to 50%

Faster detection of critical zones.

Teams identify congestion more quickly and can intervene before areas become saturated.

↑ +20 to +35%

Improved operational responsiveness.

Information is transmitted in real time to supervision centers to accelerate field decision-making.

↑ +15 to +25%

Smoother crowd movement.

A better understanding of flows helps optimize circulation strategies and reduce congestion points.

↓ -10 to -20%

Reduced risks related to overcrowding.

Continuous occupancy monitoring helps prevent critical situations and strengthen overall public safety.

A new standard for managing large-scale events.

📈

Density.

At Solidays, crowds aren't static: they breathe, move and concentrate. With over 65,000 festival-goers a day, managing gauges and sensitive areas becomes a vital issue. CORE provides the precision you need to stay in control.

👁️

Clear vision.

Every camera becomes an activatable source of information. Thanks to CORE, organizers have a real-time reading of flows, able to identify critical areas before they become problematic.

🔒

Security.

Real-time data offers additional reassurance. Rather than reacting in a hurry, the tool makes it possible to anticipate sensitive situations and adapt devices continuously, offering preventive crowd management.

Capacity Control.

Ensure compliance with authorized capacities across the different festival areas. Poor occupancy management can lead to congestion, tension, and operational difficulties.

Team Coordination.

Efficiently manage more than 1,500 contractors and operational staff distributed across the entire site. Without centralized data, aligning resources with on-the-ground reality becomes difficult.

Operational Speed.

Reduce detection and decision-making delays during peak attendance periods. Every minute matters when it comes to easing access, directing crowd movement, or securing sensitive areas.

See Better. Perform Smarter.

CORE analyzes real-world images to extract actionable insights.

Dynamic gauges.

Definition of gauges by zone to adapt flow management and respect overall festival gauges.

Detection of high-risk areas.

Rapid identification of areas where density is becoming critical, enabling intervention before a situation degenerates.

Optimizing traffic flow.

Improved traffic and evacuation plans thanks to real-time analysis of movements.

Crowd movements.

Predictive analysis to avoid bottlenecks and better distribute festival-goers across the site.

Centralized supervision.

A consolidated, live view in the cloud, accessible to security teams and organizers.

Towards enhanced safety.

Experimentation to integrate simulation and fouloscopy scenarios to predict and manage flows.

Insights.

Real-time visibility across the entire festival.

CORE centralizes camera data to provide precise visibility into flows, densities, and occupancy levels across every area of the site.

Supervision teams can monitor crowd movement evolution, identify high-pressure zones, and adapt security measures in real time according to attendance levels.

👉 Result: faster decision-making aligned with on-the-ground reality and the festival’s safety challenges.

Events.

Intelligent alerts to prevent critical situations.

CORE automatically detects capacity overruns, congestion phenomena, and unusual behaviors in sensitive areas.

By automating the escalation of critical information, teams can act immediately: redirecting flows, reinforcing field teams, or adjusting access points.

👉 Result: proactive crowd management that reduces risks while preserving the festival experience.

We called on CORE after a process of reflection, mainly to better understand the circulation of festival-goers and thus improve safety and evacuation plans within the festival, which is effectively a sort of city in its own right.
