Promoting his new album True, which includes hit sensation Wake Me Up, Avicii wanted an on stage production that would have maximum impact in the arena environments, such as Manchester Phones 4U Arena and London's Earls Court.
Production manager Robin Scott is a long-standing client of LS-Live's and he turned to the Wakefield company once again to supply a DJ booth stage set.
Speaking to TPi Magazine Robin Scott said, "We set out to produce a slick and efficient production that we could put in and easily take out of venues on a daily basis, making sure that the end result gave the audience an experience to really remember.
"In order to do this, I needed very reliable tour vendors that I'd worked extensively with before. As a result, the tour has been a huge success in every way."
Built entirely of standard rental products, the performance platform was easy to erect on site as it was based on the toplock LiteDeck stage decking components, raised over two feet off the ground, together with a step unit, safety handrails, and two further raised LiteDeck to make a shelf for his DJ equipment. The look was finished with black wool serge drape to cover the downstage edge.
XL Video clad the front of the DJ booth in Barco OLite 510 LED display tiles with video content played live as part of Avicii's high-energy and kaleidoscopic visuals.
Said LS-Live's Jess Woodward, "LiteDeck is a robust, yet lightweight, stage decking system that we use consistently in our touring structures because it proves itself as the best solution time and time again for both ease of use, build times and strength...It was a pleasure as always to work with Robin on this show."
