UK - Le Maitre has embarked on Green Day's UK tour, which started in Birmingham on 23 January and will take in all major cities in the UK, culminating at Glasgow's SECC on 10 February. The special effects for the tour are designed and created by Pyrotek Special Effects Inc, and feature Flashes, Flames, Fireballs and the 'Dragons' propane gas flame effect, as well as Le Maitre's Stadium Flash Reports.

Le Maitre is working closely with Pyrotek, supplying a full-time pyrotechnician on all the dates of the tour and dealing with the logistics and import permits for the pyrotechnics. Green Day and their special effects can be seen on the BBC's Top Of the Pops tonight (Friday 4 February), and at the 2005 Brit Awards next week.
