C3 Presents is one of North America’s most powerful live-event companies — a full-service producer, marketer, and promoter operating at the intersection of music, culture, and mass-scale hospitality.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, and partially owned by Live Nation Entertainment, C3 has built a festival portfolio that collectively draws hundreds of thousands of attendees every year.
Their flagship events — Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits (ACL), Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, Sea.Hear.Now, and Oceans Calling — are among the most recognized music festivals in the United States, attracting global talent, major brand sponsors, and thousands of independent vendors and concessionaires who set up shop inside festival grounds for days at a time.For those vendors — food & beverage operators, catering companies, hospitality teams, floral and specialty retailers — reliable cold storage is not optional. It is mission-critical. That is precisely where Chill Out Rentals steps in.
Chill Out Rentals already maintains an active working relationship with Live Nation. Extending that partnership to C3 Presents events is a natural progression — one that benefits festival organizers, vendors, and attendees alike by ensuring every cold-storage need is handled by a proven, nationwide operator.
Every Festival. Every Vendor. Every Need.
Chill Out Rentals is positioned to deliver refrigerated trailer, Pod, and container cooler-freezer
solutions to every C3 Presents festival site in North America — short-term event rentals or
multi-week seasonal agreements.
One of the most iconic music festivals in the world, Lollapalooza takes over Chicago’s Grant Park for four days every summer. With eight stages, 170,000+ daily attendees, and hundreds of food, beverage, and merchandise vendors operating simultaneously, the cold-storage demand is enormous.

Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) is the flagship home event for C3 Presents, spanning two back-to-back weekends in Zilker Park. With 75,000 daily attendees per weekend, ACL’s vendor village is a full-scale commercial operation requiring sustained, multi-week cold-storage support.

Texas Heat Demands Reliable Refrigeration
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is a legendary 4-day camping and music event on a 700-acre farm in rural Tennessee. Its remote, self-contained format makes on-site cold storage operationally essential — there is no nearby infrastructure to fall back on.

Governors Ball is New York City’s premier outdoor music festival, drawing massive crowds each June. NYC vendors are expected to operate at a premium level — which demands professional-grade cold-storage solutions that match that standard.

Sea.Hear.Now is a beachfront music and surf festival combining world-class music with a coastal lifestyle vibe. Salt air, sandy terrain, and warm September temperatures demand robust, weather-hardened refrigeration equipment.

How Chill Out Rentals Fits Into the C3 Presents Ecosystem
C3 Presents produces world-class festival experiences. Behind every great festival is a world-class vendor ecosystem — and behind every vendor that serves food, drinks, or perishable goods is a cold-storage unit that keeps everything safe, fresh, and compliant.
Right now, vendors at C3 Presents events source their refrigeration independently, often working with local rental companies that may lack the capacity, reliability, or experience to support a festival-scale operation. This creates fragmented logistics, inconsistent service quality, and unnecessary complexity for both the vendor and the festival organizer.
Chill Out Rentals proposes a preferred vendor partnership with C3 Presents — where we become the recommended cold-storage provider for vendors across all C3 festival properties.
This gives vendors a trusted, experienced, festival-tested source for their refrigeration needs, and gives C3 Presents a value-added vendor service that elevates the overall event experience.
- ✓ Streamlined cold-storage logistics across all 6 festivals
- ✓ Single point of contact for vendor refrigeration needs
- ✓ Reduced vendor onboarding friction at each event
- ✓ Consistent, festival-grade reliability — not local luck
- ✓ Leverages existing Live Nation trust relationship
- ✓ Nationwide coverage for multi-city festival calendar
The Partnership Vision
C3 Presents designates Chill Out Rentals as the recommended cold-storage vendor — listed in the vendor onboarding package and promoted by event operations teams.
Individual food, beverage, and specialty vendors contact Chill Out Rentals directly to book their refrigeration units — we handle logistics, they handle the menu.
For larger events, Chill Out Rentals can work directly with C3 operations teams to pre-position a fleet of units on-site, available for vendor assignment at move-in.
Vendors who tour multiple C3 events benefit from season-long agreements that reduce per-event cost and guarantee unit availability across their full festival calendar.
As C3 Presents expands its festival portfolio, Chill Out Rentals scales alongside — a long-term partnership built on shared success across North America.

Floral arrangements, botanical products, and temperature-sensitive specialty retail items all benefit from compact Pod cooler rentals at festival pop-up shops.
