Originally planned for just 11 dates, it's now on the road for 34 in total, running until June 2014. Mojo Barriers has been contracted by Live Nation's promoter's rep Max Burnham from iBurnham Ltd, to provide the safety barriers for every date.
Kevin Thorborn, Mojo Barriers' UK general manager, comments: "Touring has always been an important market for Mojo Barriers internationally, and in the UK we've seen significant growth in the area this year, also winning contracts for Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and Miley Cyrus.
"For McBusted we have a full time Mojo Barriers crew member - Kosta Chaparov - out on the road with the production team, ensuring smooth and safe installation at every venue. We work regularly in many of the venues already, which has been a great help in ensuring that we can load in and out quickly and play our part in keeping the smooth running of the tour. This is vital with so many back-to-back dates."
Working to CAD drawings Mojo is providing 48m of standard aluminium barriers and corners configured to form a golden circle which is situated inside the curved catwalk, alongside a secondary barrier line. A further 40m is used on the C-stage.
Max Burnham commented: "Mojo Barriers are the industry standard. They're the first people you go to because you know they're going to turn up, they've got proper, trustworthy kit and they've got people who have been doing it for years. They work well with touring productions because they understand the difficulties of running a show and work alongside you to overcome them. Kosta has been brilliant too; he's become part of our crew. Working with Mojo gives you peace of mind."
