Brings May Day Polka Party with Elation lighting

On this year’s May Day in Germany, Cologne based band Brings rocked Lanxess Arena with a Polka Party. TSL Production of Cologne supported the event as the technical provider and used a full complement of Elation lighting gear to support the show.

Some 13,000 guests attended the 4 ½ hour concert, which took place in combination with an after-show party. Lighting design was by Dominik Schmid, head of lighting for Brings, along with Frank Schmitz, technical supervisor and owner of TSL Production.

TSL Production supports Brings as technical provider at all their concerts and developed the entire technical concept (lighting, video and sound) for the May Day Polka Party show. The lighting rig included some of Elation’s newest stage lighting luminaires, namely 20 Artiste DaVinci LED moving spots and 16 Dartz 360 narrow-beam LED beam/spot moving heads, as well as 30 Platinum HFX moving heads, 24 ACL 360 Bar LED moving battens and 16 ACL 360 Matrix moving head effect panels.

“We used pixelmapping between the large LED screen strips and the ACL 360 Matrix and ACL 360 Bar fixtures,” Frank Schmitz explains. “We then interspersed effects from the Platinum HFX fixtures.” From an upstage position came color and visual effects from Artiste DaVincis, as well as beam looks from more Platinum HFXs.

Additional DaVinci fixtures worked from the B-stage to surround and highlight performers in color and effect. The Dartz 360 LED fixtures provided backlight effects from an upstage position and were also used to provide dynamic lighting from the DJ Booth B-stage at the after-show party.
