The concert touring division in Hawthorn is drawing upon its wide range of hire equipment, supplying lighting to specification, including Martin MAC Viper Profile, Clay Paky Sharpy and ETC Source 4 Profile fixtures.
Lighting is controlled using an Avolites Arena console. Glux 10mm LED panels and a 30-inch mirror ball will also feature in the package, along with two Hawthorn technicians who will accompany the tour.
The kit provided by Hawthorn supplements the existing equipment provided by the festivals.
Mick Freer, head of concert touring at Hawthorn, said: "We worked with New Order last year on their European Tour so we're delighted to have the opportunity to hit the road with them again in 2016. The band are renowned for delivering an incredible live show so it's always a pleasure to be a part of it."
Hawthorn's ever-growing reputation in the concert touring sector has already seen them supply kit and crew for a host of performances this year including those by, OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) and Steven Wilson's Hand. Cannot. Erase 2016 European tour.
