iHeartRadio’s ALTer Ego 2022 was held in Los Angeles’ historic indoor arena, The Forum, in early January. The one-night event brought some of the biggest names in alt rock like Coldplay, Twenty One Pilots, Imagine Dragons, Kings of Leon, and more. 4Wall was the lighting, rigging, and video provider for the concert. 4Wall worked alongside Diversified Production Services, Firehouse Productions, All Access Staging & Productions, Inc., C2W Rigging, & Th3Activity for iHeart Radio’s first event of 2022.
“I’m around this crew more than my own family,” joked 4Wall VP of Live Events Bob Suchocki. “It was great to see this group of talented folks come together and help ring in the new year with an awesome event like this one. We’re excited to see live events come back in full-swing!”
Before load-in, prep was held at 4Wall Los Angeles which was about 20 miles away from the venue. 615’ Tyler GT Truss was pre-loaded at the shop with hundreds of moving lights and LED fixtures. This saved a massive amount of load-in time as the GT Truss was ready to hang before arriving at The Forum.
LD Patrick Dierson utilized a lighting package of over 100 moving lights that included Chauvet Professional MK3 Wash, Elation Professional Artiste Mondrian, GLP impression X4 Bar, GLP JDC1, Robe MegaPointe, and Robe BMFL Blade fixtures.
For the stage video backdrop, 4Wall provided 120 ROE CB8 video tiles along with the entire LED processor system. For stage left and stage right projection screens, two Barco HDX-W20 Flex projectors were used. 4Wall also provided the entire camera system for the live footage that was broadcasted on the projection screens. 4Wall provided a rigging equipment package that included over 70 ChainMaster hoists and Kinesys Elevation hoists.
LD Patrick Dierson spoke about his latest experience working with 4Wall for ALTer EGO 2022. “I couldn’t have asked for a better gig and crew to work with to kick off the New Year. Bob and everyone at 4Wall are an absolute pleasure to work with. Not to mention the gear is immaculate and I never have to second guess or worry if we will be taken care of if we need something added.”
