World - American singer/songwriter and ex-No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani toured the world on her The Sweet Escape tour, a critically acclaimed eclectic show described as "part pep rally, part Broadway musical" with special acts and plenty of costume changes. Lighting design was by Butch Allen who chose a Martin package of 68 MAC 2000 Washes and 13 MAC 2000 Profiles to light the show all under control of a Martin Maxxyz lighting console.

Lighting director was Jesse Blevins, who also helped with lighting programming and toured with the show. He commented on the decision to go with Martin MACs: "Due to the size of the LED walls and our sub-grid (half of the dates were shed gigs) the lights had to be small enough to fit into some pretty tight spaces but still bright enough to compete with all of the video content.

"The 2K Wash was a nice fit. It also helps that it is dependable and easy to find worldwide as we had two months of fly dates through Asia, Australia and Japan."(Jim Evans)
