Working closely with LD Fuji (David Convertino), the Adlib Lighting team consisted of Andy Rowe, Tim Spilman and Richard Babington. The tour visited a wide variety of different sized venues - from regional Academies to London's Brixton Academy and the Brighton Centre, so the rig had to be adaptable.
With traditional rock 'n' roll aesthetics at its core - beam technology, high contrast bright and bold colours - the lighting design was based on two trusses. The front truss contained 60 PARs and 4 8-lite blinders, while the back truss featured 48 PARs, 6 Martin Professional MAC 2K Profile moving lights, 5 Martin Atomic strobes, 4 8-Lites and 3 bars of ACLs. On the deck were 6 MAC 2K Washes.
Adlib Lighting supplied a GrandMA lighting desk that was specified by Fuji plus 2 Lycian 1.2K follow spots for the tour, and the band supplied their own backdrop.
