August Burns Red on tour with Elation Dartz fixtures

For metalcore band August Burns Red's 2019 'Dangerous' tour, which kicked off January 24th in Lexington, Kentucky, lighting designer David Summers chose 12 Elation Dartz 360 fixtures, supplied by Squeek Lights.

The 3-degree RGB Dartz fixtures were grouped across four towers of 5-foot pipe in a straight line upstage. From these positions, two each side of the drum riser, Summers split the visual plane in two, allowing for a variety of design possibilities. "I’m a big fan of symmetrical looks and movements so anything with big sweeping 'XX's and 'VV's I love," he says. "I had an 'XVXVX' cue that I used frequently on the tour."

The band also carried six Elation SixBar 1000 six-color LED battens as side light along with six Proton 3K Color LED strobes positioned on the upstage deck. Antari Z-350 Fazers provided a canopy of dry haze for mid-air beams while lighting control came via an M2GO console with an M-Touch used as a wing.

Lighting vendor for the "Dangerous" tour was New York-based rental company Squeek Lights, headed by Victor Zeiser.
