Genetic chooses Elation’s Artiste DaVinci for Morgan Wallen tour

American country music artist Morgan Wallen has been on the road since February 2018 with an Elation rig that includes the new Artiste DaVinci, and will be out all summer opening up for Luke Bryan. Lighting design and event production studio Genetic Productions provided the lighting gear for Wallen’s inaugural headlining tour, “Up Down”, which played dates February 2nd to April 28th across the U.S. Genetic’s Zac Coren served as lead LD and programmer for the tour, which was designed using Capture Nexum software.

Located behind the band as upstage floor lights, the Elation DaVinci's are used to cast aerial effects as well as provide back light for the band. Zac Coren says one of his favorite looks he achieved with the DaVinci’s was a tunnel look using the cone gobo with a breakup gobo behind it.

In addition to the DaVinci fixtures, the lighting system includes ACL 360 Bar LED moving battens and Cuepix Blinder WW2 LED-based white light blinders with Arena Par Zoom LED Par lights providing side light.

“The ACL 360 Bars are used for back light as well as giving us a lot of eye candy, making this rig great for both club dates and festival shows,” Coren comments. “We utilized the Cuepix WW2s as a classic country style mole. We bring them in in crucial moments for sing-alongs as well as a few times to get some light on the crowd.”

The “Up Down” tour concluded on April 28th in Las Vegas but the Elation rig is back out with Wallen for the duration of Luke Bryan’s “What Makes You Country” tour, which launched May 31st in Toronto.
