After a very long 8-year wait, audiences of over 400,000 descended on Dublin’s Croke Park in September to see country singer Garth Brooks perform.  

Lighting Designer, Robert Peterson, enlisted the help of Neg Earth Lights to illuminate Garth & 400,000 fans over 5 shows.  

Over 1000 lighting fixtures including 140 Chroma-Q Color One 100 X IP65 and 212 Martin MAC Aura XB LEDs created the country singer’s set. We also provided truss, power, distro, control & network, and atmospherics.

The fifth Laver Cup tennis tournament was held at The O2 arena in London over the weekend.

As 103 LITEC Exe-Rise hoists – with a combined lifting capacity of 118,000kg – supported a multi-truss system populated with over 340 lighting fixtures, eager spectators watched Team Europe take on Team World.

Lighting fixtures including Ayrton Domino, Khamsin and Wildsun S-25, Robe Forte and Spiider, and SGM Q-8 Flood Strobes illuminated the iconic black court.

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets has been touring the world in 2022 with lighting, motors, network system and control consoles from Neg Earth Lights.

The band, led by legendary Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, are lit by a varied rig including Clay Paky Scenius Unico, Sharpy Wash, and B-Eye K25, Martin Aura XBs and Robe Robin Spikie LED WashBeams.

Designers Patrick Woodroffe and Paul ‘PK’ Kell aimed to reproduce Pink Floyd’s liquid light shows from the 1960s. Using laser projectors combined with the traditional technique of mixing oil, water, printer ink and dyes on two transparent, concaved, clockfaces the team created unique imagery and reactions each time.

The oil mixing is performed live under camera each night and projected onto the custom backdrop via Neg’s media server.

Paul Howling, Lighting Operator for the forthcoming US tour, previously led video integration and oil mixing, recently handing the reins over to Rachel Axton.
