Darius Rucker - UK Tour 2025

Video

The visual centrepiece of the show was a large 12-metre by 7-metre LED wall made up of ROE Black Quartz 4.6mm panels. This upstage display delivered clear, high-resolution content across the full width of the performance area. Complementing this was a low-profile LED floor strip that ran 12.5 metres across the stage with 2.5-metre returns at either end, allowing content to extend from the screen onto the stage floor.

The entire system was powered by a Megapixel VR Helios processing package, providing precise control over playback and signal routing. Power distribution for the video system was handled by a Stagesmarts C72tv distro, ensuring clean and reliable delivery throughout.

Lighting

The flown lighting rig was built to create a mix of punch, wash, and dynamic movement across the set. It featured 24 GLP JDC-1 hybrid strobes, paired with 24 ROXX Cluster B4W fixtures for high-output white light and 34 Martin MAC Ultra Performance moving heads, which delivered precise keylight and beam effects. Additional colour and wash coverage was provided by 34 Martin MAC Aura PXL fixtures. For beam work and aerial effects, 12 Robe MegaPointes were included in the flown package.

The floor package extended the rig with an additional nine GLP JDC-1s, eight ROXX Cluster B2FC fixtures, and eight Martin MAC Ultra Performance heads, all contributing to the layered visual design from stage level.

Four Robert Juliat Merlin followspots were used for front tracking and key artist highlighting. Atmosphere was created using four MDG theONE haze machines to ensure consistent beam definition throughout the venue.

Lighting control was managed using a grandMA3 full-size console at front of house, with a grandMA3 light console provided as backup. Signal distribution and infrastructure were supported by twin INDU 72-way distros and a fibre-based control system, linking FOH and stage efficiently.
