As soon as I saw Glass Animals on this list I got so upset that I wasn’t able to see them on tour last year. The lighting and VMD work for their show, even just from the pictures, is so far beyond any other concert I’ve attended. It really looks like a futuristic spaceship, with a set design that is simultaneously reminiscent of the bridge of the Enterprise of the original Star Trek and of something completely new. In high school one of my friends directed a one-act set in a failing spaceship, and the set designer and I collaborated to add glowing buttons and a color-changing map to the consoles. (We actually installed an old analog soundboard and our newly-discarded ETC Element into the set, since they still lit up even when not connected to anything!) We were truly trying to emulate the campy, low-budget yet futuristic feeling of Star Trek TOS—so it’s incredible to see how similar design decisions can be so emotionally impactful when in the hands of professional production designers with an ostensibly humongous budget.
