Robe Cyclones for Charli XCX

For her current tour, UK singer-songwriter Charli XCX requested coloured smoke from show designer Rob Sinclair and lighting designer Greg Hill. For that reason, Sinclair chose Robe Cyclones which he had also used on the Kaiser Chiefs’ tour last year.

Hill, who is out on the road LD’ing the tour, has been working with Charli XCX since 2014, and Sinclair came on board in early 2015 as show designer. Some elements of the show look were already in place, including a set of false scenic Orange amps which are up-lit with LEDs, so Sinclair then chose lighting fixtures and positions to evolve the aesthetic from this starting point.

On Charli XCX, four Cyclones are positioned high on top of the LED cabinets and fed by four fog machines running on quick-dissipating fluid. The outflows are ducted right up behind the Cyclones, resulting in coloured plumes of smoke. The Cyclones are being run from Hill’s GrandMA2 light lighting console. Charli XCX’s production - led by tour manager Andrew Wilkinson - purchased the Cyclones from Robe UK.
