UK - For chart topping Mika's current series of live dates, lighting designer Ian Tomlinson chose a mixture of fixtures, including: 12 PixelLine Micro Effects, 12 PixelLine 1044s, six PixelPars, six MAC 250 washes, six Mirrorballs and "lots of festoon".

The diverse rig allows Tomlinson to produce big theatrical effects, injecting visual creativity to the various characters that Mika brings to life during his shows. The Micros form an arch at the back of the stage and their high powered effects complemented the 1044s.

Tomlinson comments: "The Micros hold their own against the 1044s, I was very impressed and hopefully on the next tour we will introduce a media server. I'm pleased PixelLines are now available in different sizes, as it allows more flexibility in the rig - particularly when we are touring venues of different sizes."

All the lighting is supplied by Adlib and a WholeHog IPC was used for control and programming. The tour manager is Jamie Butterworth and Dave Eldridge is the lighting tech.
