INDIO, CA — Goldenvoice, the AEG subsidiary that organizes the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, has not released a confirmed lineup of performers at next year’s festival, which will have the same double-weekend format as this year’s event, running from April 12-14 and April 19-21, 2013. But that didn’t stop buyers from snapping up all of the $349 general admission passes and $799 VIP passes within hours of when they became available on May 17.

NEW YORK — Production Resource Group’s new Best Boy 4000 Spot luminaire is making its Broadway debut on the Tony-nominated revival of Evita as part of a broader package of gear provided by PRG. LD Neil Austin said he chose the Best Boy for its brightness, low power draw and much lower noise as compared to other spot fixtures. Evita is playing at the Marquis Theatre.

INDIO, CA – This year’s Coachella Music and Arts Festival event experience was enhanced by the dramatic lighting of the festival grounds, made possible with LumenRadio’s CRMX Nova wireless control, installed by Felix Lighting.  Two LumenRadio TX2 RDM transmitters controlled three DMX universes of 20 SyncroLite 7K searchlights and 260 ColorKinetics ColorBlaze fixtures.  Seventeen LumenRadio receivers were placed on remote lighting towers up to three-quarters of a mile from the control center.

LAS VEGAS – For the redesign of the lobby and entryway at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas, LD Herrick Goldman selected the Brickblaster Pro RGBW and WWCW. The compact size of the Brickblaster Pro allowed the fixtures to fit into hidden alcoves throughout the lobby, while track mounted fixtures were used in the main hallway, which has a low ceiling height of 8 feet.
