As Mojo Barrier's US office wrapped up 2010, the barrier specialists, led by J.B. Dolphin US manager, were delighted to learn the company had provided barriers and expert crowd safety services at over half of the top ten tours during the year.
"We pride ourselves on being industry leaders; during 2010 Mojo Barriers, as a company, provided product and services over 750 touring shows," says Dolphin. Six of these made the top 10 list for highest grossing world tours and the fact they trusted us with the safety of their audiences and acts reflects our investment and ongoing efforts to improve concert safety."
The barrier company created bespoke parts for both the top grossing act Bon Jovi and third on the list, U2's tours. The emergency gates created a swifter egress and ingress with engineering that allowed them to swing both ways. This also helped fans to easily move between inner and outer pits.
Metallica entrusted their safety to the barrier specialists who provided 110m of moveable barricade chutes for all 21 of their world tour dates. These chutes connected to the entire stage enclosure, allowing the band to enter and exit the stage via the vomitorium safely.
McCartney was another of the top grossing artists to enjoy the benefits of Mojo Barriers' international network of expertise and combined resources.
