LIGHTING SYSTEM: 

With so many highly energetic performers on stage at all times, it is very important that the 

lighting design illuminates all performers in white light, so they can be seen well, and then lights 

around them with color, beams and effects to enhance the excitement level and create depth. 

Purchaser must provide a first class lighting system with the ability to: 

• Execute Rock’n’roll lighting effects 

• Back and side light with color-changing fixtures 

• Haze to enhance lighting and mood effects
