USA - Bandit Lites recently worked with production manager and lighting designer Hadden Hippsley on the second annual Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The three-day festival featured artists such as Widespread Panic, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, James Brown, The Dead and the Allman Brothers.

Bandit provided all the lighting for the festival with Hippsley making use of: 20 MAC 2000s and 14 MAC 600s on a five-truss rig, over the main stage. Other equipment on the rig included 27 six-lamp bars, four eight-lites and 12 ETC Source Fours. The rig was hung with 26 3E DN motors. The shows were controlled with Wholehog II and a Wholehog II wing. Michael Strickland, Bandit Lites CEO said: "The organization of this event is simply exceptional, even the logistics of working with saturated ground did not pose a major problem."
