George Michael: 25 Live Stadium Tour
Digital Antics have been asked back to continue their on-going support of the system they developed for George Michael’s original 25 Live Arena Tour.
Following the sell out success of his UK and Europe venue tour visiting 12 countries in 45 days, there’s no sign of George Michael letting up as he steams head on into his 25 Live Stadium Tour of Europe. Beginning with Estadio Cidade de Coimbra in Portugal and culminating in mid July at the OAKA Stadium in Athens, George makes his way across some of the most famous stadiums in Europe whilst picking up the accolade of being the first artist to perform at the new Wembley.
The Digital Antics team have flown out to various destinations in Europe to follow the tour as new content is added and changes are made to the show. In the process, new features have been added to the bespoke 25 Live Controller solution to make last minute rehearsals even easier.
The new Stadium Tour again features the vast central LED screen which contains 50% more pixels than the previous Arena Tour. The bespoke system developed by Digital Antics for George Michael consisting of both control and playback software components has coped admirably with the requirements of the new, upgraded screen.
Show programmers Jason Root, Paul Scullion, Raoul Mohamdee and Quintin Willison have all been out on the tour to support various dates working closely with Sam Pattinson, Luke Halls and Jan Urbanowski of the onedotzero content creation team as well as the tour’s Video Director Andy Bramley and Video Crew Chief and Racks Engineer Ed Jarman.
