Marillion - ‘With Friends From The Orchestra’ Tour (2019)

British prog-rock band Marillion completed a special UK tour in November 2019, culminating in two nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The ‘Marillion With Friends From The Orchestra’ dates, which coincided with the 40th anniversary of the band and the 30th anniversary of Steve Hogarth as its lead singer, saw the band joined by Brussels-based string quartet In Praise Of Folly, along with Emma Halnan on flute and Sam Morris on French horn.

Once again, Marillion’s lighting designer Yenz Nyholm was tasked with delivering the required level of spectacle for these celebratory shows. “My brief called firstly for ‘big’, and then for ‘bright’,” says Nyholm. “With eleven people on the stage, we needed a lot of coverage. We used video with all the songs, so the wash lights needed to cut through against the brightness of the LED wall.”

To achieve this Nyholm enlisted the new, LED-based VL2600 Wash luminaire from Vari-Lite. He positioned the 14 VL2600 Wash fixtures on his rear truss, providing general color coverage across the performance area. Nyholm was first introduced to the VL2600 Wash by the band’s former lighting designer Steve Finch, now with lighting rental provider Siyan Ltd, where he handles the Marillion account for Nyholm.
