GLP lighting featured heavily at a major EDM event recently at the Campo Pequeno Bullring in Lisbon. The Moment Lisbon was promoted by Israeli-based Rapyd, a worldwide payment solutions company, and delivered by their experience brand, The Moment, as part of a recruitment drive. This was the closing event in a series of three major parties in Europe through 2022, the first two being in Berlin and...
GLP lighting solutions have been no strangers to Post Malone’s stage scenography over the years, and his latest Twelve Carat tour – with Dan Norman (of Evolve Lights) now in charge of the visuals – is no exception. Introduced to the creative team in 2019 to help program new songs that were added to the Runway tour, he has subsequently worked consistently with the Posty Touring team, along with...
When she set out to design George Ezra’s 2022 arena and festival lighting rig, production designer Cate Carter didn’t need to look much further than the GLP catalog to achieve the dynamic she was seeking. The LD first added Ezra to her enviable portfolio of clients back in 2019 – then as part of the Bryte Design collective – before being re-engaged, this time as an independent, to help promote...
Between the months of May and September, Berlin band SEEED were busy playing open-air and festival dates in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (including eight concerts in their home town alone). And wherever the 14-piece band performs, a good atmosphere is assured. LD Timo Martens has been with the band for 22 years, and both musicians and crew are like family to him. On the other hand, 16 GLP...
The German band Die Ärzte (aka the ‘Best Band in the World’) is one of many artists who made creative use of the forced pandemic break. After the album Hell, released in October 2020, the cult Berlin band released an album with the contrasting title Dunkel just under a year later. The associated tour, Buffalo Bill in Rome, is currently running, for which production designer Bertil Mark uses 21 of...
Every second year, veteran American rock band 311 celebrates 11 March (3/11) with a massive party-style celebration concert for fans over two nights at the Park Theater, Las Vegas (Park MGM). And the pressure is on LD Bobby Grey, of Notan Creative (and the entire production team), to exceed the excitement of the previous event in this biennial calendar. “We went into this wondering how we could...
When Austrian hip-hop artist and producer RAF Camora released his album Zenith in 2019, he announced it would be his last. But then the album Zukunft was released two years later, just a few months before the artist went one better with Zukunft II. This was more than reason enough to follow up with a tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Lighting designer Felix Seidel accompanied the...
When Canadian creative director Matt Larivée, of Lüz Studio, sat down to design the stage set for Jack White’s Supply Chain Issues tour, GLP’s trusty JDC1 hybrid strobe and X4 Bar 20 batten were prominent in his tool kit. And so were 144 additional ‘virtual’ X4 Bar 20s… more of which later. “The JDC1 is one of my favorite fixtures for washing a band from the floor, so that was a go-to to define...
Deftones’ lighting and production designer, Jon Eddy, has worked with the band and their long-term production manager, Andy Tinsley, for a number of years and knows implicitly how best to light their shows, interpreting and building on the vibe put forward by lead singer Chino Moreno. This time around, he explains: “I wanted to go for something as far away as I could from a typical metal show...
British indie rockers alt-J recently unveiled their new tour in support of their latest studio album, The Dream. Creative collective FragmentNine, which has been designing their shows since 2014, was again tasked with the show’s scenography – abandoning the ‘volumetric video’ ingenuity of 2017’s Relaxer, which won them a Knight of Illumination award. This time they adopted a completely different...
