Top international pop artists, Take That, are currently promoting their seventh studio album, “III”, on their “Live 2015” tour with seven Robert Juliat followspots playing major roles in highlighting the artists and the many theatrical antics that surround them.

 

Creative director, Kim Gavin, has devised a show that involves a high degree of theatricality with acts, including aerial stunts, taking place across a large set, designed by Misty Buckley, that loops out into the arena from a multi-level dynamic main stage.

 

Lighting designer, Tim Routledge was briefed to produce a design with ‘a very theatrical look, but with a huge pop punch over the top’. His lighting rig contains a large number of moving light fixtures and LED video screens. Routledge therefore needed followspots that would punch through the sheer amount of lighting and video and cope with the long throw distances on this arena-sized show.

 

He turned to Robert Juliat, chosing three RJ 4000W HTI Lancelot followspots as his main front-of-house fixtures to follow the three members of the band. These spots are augmented by four RJ Victor 1800W MSR followspots stationed front-of-house stage left and right. Routledge uses these to highlight the main theatricalities from other performers, including some flying acts, in addition to filling in on the three main artists from right and left. Routledge chose to call the followspot cues as well as run the show himself.

 

Take That is touring with a team led by tour production director, Chris Vaughan, assisted by technical manager, Phil Broad.
