George Michael has celebrated 25 years as a performer by taking his 25 Live Tour to stadia across Europe this summer. In June he christened the new Wembley Stadium with a performance in front of 140,000 people. Production Manager, Mark Spring, and crew spent four weeks this spring at Litestructures Studios preparing for the tour.
Meanwhile the Arctic Monkeys have celebrated an important milestone in their young careers by debuting at the Glastonbury Festival with a headline slot at the Pyramid stage. It was just one of a string of summer performances for which the band travelled the short distance from their native Sheffield to rehearse at Litestructures Studios.
"It has been a real honour for Litestructures Studios to play a role in the tour preparations for these two acts, both of whom are reaching exciting new phases in their careers," said Litestructures Studios general manager Brent Woods. "The return of George Michael's 25 Live Tour to the Studio after its first visit last summer shows that Litestructures Studios has become a favourite rehearsal venue for large touring productions and well established artists. But Litestructures Studios is also building strong reputations with younger bands. It is great to host and support acts like the Arctic Monkeys who are at an exciting stage in their developing careers."
