The LDI Show returned to Las Vegas after a busy year of live event productions across North America. The aisles were busy with production pros seeking to gear up for another busy year ahead, with exhibitors unveiling as many new products as steadily improving supply chain conditions would permit.
For Burna Boy’s supercharged performance at the Curaçao Festival Center in late October, Massive Productions’ Ramon Ramiz stepped in as LD for the artist, lighting the Grammy-winning singer and his fans with the power of 90 Chauvet Professional fixtures from Massive Productions and its partner, Aruba Elite Productions.
Twenty One Pilots’ “Icy” tour hit the road this summer, offering LD Tyler “Shap” Shapard the chance to produce an elegant and imaginative lighting design. To atmospherically engineer the mood and vibes for each song, he relied on a Solotech-supplied rig that included 80 Robe MegaPointes.
