UK - Duran Duran's Astronaut World Tour begins this month in the USA. to support the bands latest CD, Astronaut. Working with Upstaging, Tomcat USA designed and manufactured three custom circles in three different diameters: 13.5ft, 25.5ft and 40ft. All three are a vital part of the moving light show for this tour.

Although each circle was made using a fairly common medium duty 20.5" bolted format, the project was particularly challenging because the truss required a custom diagonal pattern to accommodate specific lighting requirements. The tour kicked off in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 8 February with more than 40 other dates through out the US before heading overseas.
