Radiohead
2008
Specialz design and build a full touring
LED system, not a tungsten light bulb in sight!
In conjunction with Andi Watson (Production
and Lighting Designer) and Richard Young (Production Manager)
Specialz Were commissioned to design and build
Radiohead’s World Tour for 2008.
They liked what was proposed so much they ordered two,
one for the US and one for Europe!
With the band adopting a green approach to
touring, Andi Watson’s revolutionary design was a completely LED
system of hanging Versatubes forming a forest of light over the
stage and the band.
Richard Young commented, “The tracking
system is something that makes Specialz different, they came up
with a way to suspend the forest of Versa-tubes that deployed
the Versa-Tubes fast, easy and simple in a festival situation.”
Specialz also developed a joining system and a wiring adapter
for the Versa-Tubes which made rigging, connecting and
transportation very simple.
