Lighting designer Vince Foster created a modern feel for the show, reflecting the young band’s popularity and a lightshow that delivered an unforgettable evening’s entertainment. The versatile rig included a mixture of Martin fixtures, but dominating the stage was a chevron shaped back wall constructed from 74 PixelLine 1044s.

Vince explains, “The main function of the PixelLines on this tour was to form a video wall behind the band. PixelLines have consistently been used in my designs recently. I love the way I can use them architecturally to define the shape of sets, truss etc. They have great impact in a show being so bright!”

The lighting was supplied by Neg Earth and the show was programmed and controlled using a Whole Hog 3 and a Catalyst.

PixelLine 1044 is a RGB linear batten featuring 1044 high intensity LEDs designed and manufactured specifically for touring.
