Robe BMFLs for Vasco Rossi stadium tour

On his summer “Live Kom 15” stadium tour Italian singer Vasco Rossi played to nearly one million fans, with another lighting and show design by his long term LD, Giovanni Pinna. This year Pinna incorporated 34 Robe BMFL Blades and 16 BMFL Spots into the design. He also deployed 100 of Robe’s LEDBeam 100s which were dotted around the back wall of the main set.

Pinna worked with Claudio Santucci and Florian Boje from set design company Gioforma who produced the industrial stage set constructed from aluminium and fabricated by Rome based rental company BOTW, who were also the tour’s lighting supplier.

The stage presentation contained a lot of video. The set had a 68 metre span widthways and was built around a Space Roof giving 22 metres of clearance from the stage to the roof. Behind the central set centrepiece was over 200 square metres of Pixled F-37 LED surface, and eight lighting pods in the ceiling - moved on a Cyberhoist system - were also bordered with the same LED surface. There were four large portrait IMAG video screens (two stage left and two stage right) in the stage wings made up of Compass 8 mm LED.

The BMFL Spots were positioned all over the set. Eighteen were on the back wall of the centre section of the set. Sixteen were on the moving pods and another 16 were spaced out on the wings stage right and stage left. The BMFL Spots were used extensively throughout the show, contributing to all the major stage and band looks as well as for illuminating the audience.

“It’s the first time that I have been able to light a stadium audience with lights from the rig,” Giovanni Pinna declares. Pinna operated all the Robe units and other lights from a GrandMA console and a GrandMA Light was used by Marco Piva to run the media servers playing back the scenic video elements.
