Claypaky fixtures light Davido at London’s O2 Arena

Nigerian music star Davido’s epic production at London’s O2 Arena was lit by show designer Anthony Hazelden using Claypaky’s Mythos and A.leda B-Eye K10 fixtures. Briefed with creating a production on the same scale as a Nicki Minaj or Drake concert, Hazelden took to WYSIWYG to plan a show for the artist, which included a catwalk and a flying stage.

The set heavily featured video content displayed on a 10 m x 4.8 m video wall. “The Mythos were the main fixture over the stage,” explains Hazelden. “I used Mythos’ gobos to create a number of different looks, and for each the light was still visible against the video running at 100%.”

The 24 x A.leda B-Eye K10s were rigged on the truss at front of house and were used as crowd and effects lights during the supporting acts. Throughout Davido’s performance, they were employed as the main stage wash light. “During Davido’s performance, the B-Eyes were zoomed out so that I could light the band and dancers across the whole stage,” says Hazelden.

Working alongside Hazelden on the production were lighting techs Alan Foxall, Luke Welch, Andi Lycett, Jordan Whyment, and James Smith, head video tech Steve Wright, stage manager John Mann, production manager Anthony Tang, and Vannessa Armadi from the artist’s management. The Claypaky fixtures were supplied to Hazelden and his team by Ian Livie Concert & Corporate Lighting.
