Lasers from the Chemical Brothers' Push the Button tour.
UK - The Noise & Confusion 2005 concert, held at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium on Saturday 10 December was the biggest end of year music event in the UK, with performances from the Foo Fighters, Razorlight, The Coral, The Subways, Nick Armstrong and The Thieves, Yeti and headlining act Oasis. LM Productions LLP were contracted by LDP in Canada to supply three 40W ND Yag laser systems for the Foo Fighters' special performance at the Millennium Stadium. These high-powered laser systems produce a bright emerald green beam and are ideal for large stadium and outdoor events.

The lasers were used for four songs during the 75-minute set. The lasers were positioned stage left and right next to the large video screens and one at the back of centre stage projecting over the band towards the audience. The laser show consisted of a range of high impact beams and atmospheric effects and flat scan effects for the slower songs, say LM Productions.

The company also reports the provision of a laser show for the Chemical Brothers' Push the Button tour, which travelled across the world to Australia, Asia, Europe, UK and the USA, with shows at various high profile festivals during the summer, including Glastonbury, Creamfields and the V Festival.

The company supplied three DPSS green lasers, controlled via DMX through a lighting desk. One laser was fixed under the band's set and the remaining two lasers positioned either side of the stage, all creating atmospheric beam effects co-ordinated with the music. The last section of the tour in the UK and Ireland finished this weekend with two dates at the Brixton Academy.
