Two days earlier Spiderman 2 was premiered across the Square at The Odeon with McFly performing on the balcony of the cinema. The after show party, at Billingsgate Old Market, hosted seven areas - the Spider Web Dance Floor and the City Scape being the largest. The curved trussing from two Orbit stages were used to provide 'spiders legs' coming down from the roof - lined with Pixeline. On both these events Utopium Lighting Ltd. provided the plant, site lighting and mains distro, as well as all the show lighting.
The company was also in Brixton with Massive Attack for their two sell-out shows in July. Andy Hurst used a combination of Studio PC Beams, Kino Flow 4-cell, Atomic Strobes, City Colours and X-Spots Extremes. These were used in conjunction with the 64 Pixeline supplied by Utopium.
For the third Year Utopium Lighting Ltd. is servicing the Lamertree Festival in Salisbury; with Jools Holland and Nigel Kennedy as the main acts. Chris Bushell (LD) has used the Avolite Pearl on the four stages - with Utopium providing the Video package in addition to the site and event lighting.
Orange Ashton Court Festival is in its thirtieth year and Utopium lights the event for the tenth year running. The Stranglers and Roni Size are the two main acts on the seven stages and Stuart Farrell (LD) used some new SGM Wash lights in his design, along with Chroma Strips all provided by Utopium.
