Tour Details:
To give fans an in-the-round concert free of sightline issues caused by a conventional truss-and-roof setup, the design is a combination of a steel-supported “Halo” structure surrounded by six ground-supported 32m masts, each with a series of concentric rings for rigging an array of lighting and video elements. Since the design was roofless, all fixtures are either IP-rated or dome-protected.
