Don’t Let Daddy Know about Robe
- Details
Live Legends has previously provided programming and operating teams for the event and in the design ‘hot seat’ Bas specified 122 x Robe Pointes and 40 x MegaPointes as part of a large lighting rig? supplied by Rent-All together with video and sound.
An all-star line-up included Axwell Λ Ingrosso, Steve Angello, Nervo, Nicky Romero, Timmy Trumpet, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Headhunterz, Wildstylez and much more superlative music.
Bas wanted bright, powerful beam lights with plenty of punch and creative options to hold their own over humungous amounts of LED screen at the back and surrounding the stage, and Pointes and MegaPointes proved a great choice to kick some serious ass!
The fixtures were positioned on a series of trusses above and to the sides of the stage and the venue as well as on four large moving objects flown above the audience - each with nine Pointes on-board - plus six static structures over the audience.
The imaginative challenge for DLDK, which packed the venue to its 17,000 capacity each night was that the show has to be big, and also needed to have some intimate and close punctuated moments, so every fan could feel that the DJ was playing exclusively just to them in the room.
The lighting control set up was grandMA2 and Bas took on all the operating as well, apart from three guest LD slots by Rob Lister (Axwell Λ Ingrosso), Carly Eijlander (Nicky Romero) and Koen van Elderen for Steve Angello.
All the lighting elements were undertaken by Live Legends with 4Light co-ordnating the overall lighting production, KBK Video created and ran the video content, MG Services provided audio and Pixelscreen dealt with video. Lasers were provided by Laser Image and staging from Coreworks. Eventions BV supplied all the staging and automation and Pyrotech took care of the SFX.
