Clay Paky Fixtures Light Queen’s World Tour

LD Rob Sinclair created a powerful lighting spectacle to equal the band’s legendary status for their ‘Queen + Adam Lambert’ world tour. Using 23 x Clay Paky Sharpys, Sinclair created a dynamic floor package that matched the high-energy showmanship of the band. “The lighting design on this tour had to start big and get even bigger,” explains Sinclair. “It needed to do justice to Queen’s extensive and wonderful production heritage. I needed lights that could deliver huge looks and which had the capacity and versatility to make those looks go even bigger,” he said.

LAS VEGAS – Mack Truck called upon 4Wall Las Vegas to provide gear for a launch event celebrating a new logo for the company. “I had a great deal of building surface to try and cover in addition to lighting up six large, industrial Mack trucks, we had a 30ft by 30ft stage area for speeches, awards presentations, and a DJ. The client had a very specific color palette in mind, gold and silver. I designed fourteen 20ft tall ‘tree trusses’ that were spaced around the open piazza along with a central area of circular truss (65ft diameter) where the main bar area was located,” said LD Glenn Wade.
