Blink-182: California Tour 2016

U.S. rock band Blink-182 - known for their raw, adrenalized, hi-energy performances - are back on the road and blasted straight back up to the top of the charts in both the U.S. and U.K. with their new studio album "California" and single "Bored to Death". An extensive tour - currently in the U.S. - is re-igniting the enthusiasm, passion and commitment of their loyal fanbase, who have rocked up to show their continued appreciation and enjoyed intense performances with an eye-popping production design to match, created by Dominic Smith from Neon Black. Dominic, who is based internationally in the U.S. and the U.K., started working with the band in April 2016. Neon Black delivered the full production design for the tour - lighting, video and set. The lighting rig includes 40 x BMFL Blades which are being supplied by VER.

The rig has an interesting architectural appearance and shape comprising a series of interconnecting concentric diamond shapes, and the lights are arranged over a series of trusses. Twelve of the BMFL Blades are used as key lights on the front of the band, and the rest as high-impact back lighting and effects. The lightshow features lots of bold blocks of strong color, manic movement and animated moments with lots of stab-and-accent cues to match the bold spikey attitudinal vibe of the performance. “It’s great fun to light a show like this, there are multiple things happening all the time and you really have to be fully concentrating” Dominic elaborated, saying that the lighting will follow the hues and texturing of the video that was produced by his Neon Black business partner, Bertram Paré.

The upstage video screen is a 15 mm pitch LED product 60 ft. wide by 13 ft. high and there is also 3 mm LED surface cladding the front of the risers, so the lighting has to hold its own against this mass of brightness. "The creative challenge of crafting the show has been getting all the visual components to work harmoniously", explained Dominic, "It’s not just about lighting as a stand-alone medium, but how it works with video and set as a coherent and appropriate visual platform.
