A striking lighting show was programmed by Sven Kucinic who works regularly with Prljavo Kazaliste. Tony Cetinski does not currently travel with an LD, so his management asked if Sven could also take care of lighting the show.
In addition to the house lighting rig which includes Robe LEDWash 800s and ColorSpot 575E ATs, the event's lighting supplier was Swiss rental and event production company eventattack, which has invested heavily in Robe in recent years. The rig featured 12 x LEDWash 800s, 16 x LEDBeam 100s and 16 x Pointes which were hung on the house bars in a relatively conventional set up. The versatility of these fixtures "make even an ordinary rig come to life in numerous ways" comments Sven.
Ten of the Pointes were hung over the stage and the other six were located upstage behind the band. The LEDWash 800s were rigged as front and rear lights and the LEDWash 100s were arranged in a 4 x 4 matrix which added substantial depth to the relatively shallow stage space. Sven was also able to programme a number of sphere like looks which gave the impression of the beams shooting out of a great ball of light!
He was able to provide two completely different shows for both artists,
Sven programmed the show in one intense marathon eight-hour session - on a grandMA2 console - after he arrived directly from the airport. "I wanted to get the absolute maximum out of my favourite lights, and I knew I would be able to do it as they are so reliable."
