We hear all about the massive circular structure rig on Swedish House Mafia’s Paradise Again world tour from Ben Dalgleish and the Human Person design team, the architects of this rave arena experience. We also talk to All Access about the build and with ER Productions about the laser design by Derek Abbott.
Big concert tours were back in a big way this past summer and The Weeknd’s ambitious “After Hours til Dawn” outing is perhaps the best example. Lighting designer Jason Baeri is using over 450 Elation Proteus Hybrid™ and Proteus Excalibur™ moving head luminaires as workhorse fixtures on the tour, an elaborate, visually striking show that has been selling out major stadiums across North America since July. The first leg of the all-stadium tour kicked off on July 14 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and concludes on November 27 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The tour is also scheduled to visit South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia.
