TPi: Following the success of his 2021 New Year livestream broadcast, DJ and producer, Nicky Romero brought together the same technical team to produce his 2022 show, which was filmed outdoors and featured a large lighting rig composed almost exclusively of ADJ fixtures.
‘Nicky Romero and Friends Presents NewYear Show 2022’ was streamed exclusively on the DJ’s website from 10pm until 1am, local time. It featured warm up DJ Marc Benjamin, a guest performance from Wildstylez, and an hour-long set from Romero to welcome in the New Year.

In the digital age where livestream-only broadcasts are becoming more popular and well-funded, designers are having to adapt to creating for the screen instead of for an audience, while simultaneously still being live. The designer from the article did describe some benefits to having no audience, like being able to fill a floor where the audience would usually be with fixtures. However, this lack of audience has its own unique challenges, like having to constantly change looks to keep the audience’s attention and not having a crowd reaction to program from. For this unique performance, the designer used a lot of LED fixtures to be able to color mix and have a variety of looks to transition through, while also having a lot of stationary fixtures to light the town gate setting behind the stage. While this rig was quite large for a live streamed performance, it was definitely worth it in the end and made this New Year’s Eve production look just that much cooler.
