Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds complete European tour leg
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have concluded the final European leg of their world tour, following the campaign for the Wild God album.
Lighting designer Grant Hickey utilized Robe iESPRITE LTL wash beam moving lights and iFORTE LTX fixtures for the 32-date tour. The lighting rig, supplied by PRG Belgium, featured 22 iESPRITE LTL units, 20 of which were positioned on Wahlberg lift columns around the stage. Two additional units were mounted on audience barricades to provide front and side lighting.
Hickey, who previously worked as a programmer for the band between 2010 and 2017, took full creative control of the lighting design for this run. The iFORTE LTX fixtures were selected for their power and lens capabilities to accommodate varying natural light conditions during outdoor shows that transitioned from dusk to darkness.
