Spain - To celebrate their 25 years of musical success, the Spanish duo Estopa is embarking on a tour that is setting new benchmarks in every city they visit. Beyond their distinctive musical style and engaging stage presence, the tour's standout feature is its impressive stage design, which showcases an extraordinary lighting experience crafted by Juanjo Beloqui and supported by equipment from Fluge Audiovisuales and Stonex, the Spanish distributors of Claypaky. Claypaky fixtures are playing a pivotal role in delivering this visual spectacle.
After a successful tour across the United States and Latin America, Estopa is now bringing their anniversary celebration to Spanish cities including Valencia, Sevilla, Madrid, and Bilbao. From the grandeur of Civitas Metropolitano to the Ciudad de las artes y las ciencias in Valencia, the tour is offering audiences a show, amplified by lighting designs that adapt to each venue.
Juanjo Beloqui shares his insights: “We have invested significant effort into the programming to ensure that the various lighting fixtures work seamlessly together. Achieving a consistent quality across effects like movement, colour changes, and intensity is crucial to maintain a cohesive visual experience throughout the show.”
“One of the main challenges of this tour has been balancing the LED video screens with the lighting to ensure neither element overshadows the other during the show’s key moments.”
The tour features a selection of Claypaky fixtures, including 48 HY B-EYE K25 and 12 B-EYE K20 models. “I use the B-EYEs as front lights to both illuminate and engage the audience, enhancing every effect and movement on stage,” Beloqui explains. “These fixtures were chosen for their high-quality wash light capabilities, which are essential for both highlighting the performers and supporting the camera work, as we always have a production team on the road.”
The HY B-EYE K25s are used in the delay towers to illuminate the audience, achieving an impressive colour wash.
By combining top-notch lighting technology with innovative design, Estopa’s 25th-anniversary tour continues to impress audiences and set new standards in live music performances.
