On the surface, at least, the metal sound of King Diamond is quite different from the folk-inspired pop-rock music of GAFFA Award nominee Jacob Dinesen. But in terms of the type of stage production their performances inspire, the two gifted artists share much in common. Just as music is a “universal language,” so too is lighting design. Niller Bjerregaard is proving that night after night on the Danish singer-songwriter’s 40-city 2024 tour of Europe. Bjerregaard, of Happy Light Guy, who has achieved global acclaim for lighting metal arena tours, has found that his current work for Jacob Dinesen has led him to reignite many ideas from his early work for King Diamond.Read More »Niller Bjerregaard Creates Theatrical Looks for Jacob Dinesen Tour with ChamSys

After singer Loreen’s victory at last year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, this year it is once again up to Sweden to host the gigantic show production, which will take place in Malmö Arena, with thousands of excited people attending the live shows and an audience of over 160 million broadcast viewers worldwide.

Beckhoff Automation has relocated its Chicago operations to an enhanced and expanded office to better serve customers. In addition to housing local sales and support engineers, the new location in Rosemont, IL, offers roughly 4,800 square feet for meetings, seminars and training courses in a state-of-the-art learning center. This will further support innovators across industries and drive Beckhoff market share growth.
The new Beckhoff Chicago office is just minutes from O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and offers many nearby options for lodging, dining and entertainment for visitors. Situated at the intersection of Interstates 90 and 294, the facility offers easy access to the Windy City’s downtown and outlying communities.
Beckhoff opened its first Chicago-area office in 2013 in Woodridge, Illinois. Chicago is home to high-tech companies across industries, and the local market has continuously proven its excitement for breakthrough automation technologies from Beckhoff. All of these factors made it an easy decision for the company to double down on the larger, contemporary facility.
“The new Chicago office is truly a showplace location for Beckhoff USA in the Great Lakes region,” said Don Shanklin, Regional Director – Sales and Process Improvement at Beckhoff Automation LLC. “We selected Rosemont due to its convenient location for visitors, whether they’re from Greater Chicago or flying in from across the U.S. or the globe. But this is more than an infrastructure expansion; it’s an investment in our growing local team. This centralized facility will help them share ideas and foster team dynamics as they serve our long-term customers and pursue prospects in the rapidly growing Chicago market.”
In addition to the expansion in Chicago, Beckhoff is opening other new U.S. facilities in 2024 in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Austin, TX. Along with its U.S. headquarters in the Minneapolis area, Beckhoff maintains numerous regional offices in prominent metropolitan areas across the country.
