I always think light fixture choice is really interesting, especially for things that are not theatre. Robe moving lights – MegaPointes, Spiiders and BMFL Spots – were the primary moving lights of choice for this challenging task, all supplied by Premier Global Productions out of Nashville. The pressure was on for both designers to create completely unique shows for their respective bands using this shared lighting system plus their own individual floor packages. For practical and technical reasons, Volbeat played first, thrilling the audiences with their futuristic-looking set and high energy video visuals which were matched and paired perfectly with a non-stop barrage of complementary lighting looks and cues. Ghost then took to the stage, and blasted through a potent, highly theatrical and action-packed performance, rammed with lighting drama, changing back-cloths and epic presence. I think their choices in lighting rigs were so important to the feel of their show, which is so exciting!
