For Herbert Grönemeyer’s latest Das ist los tour, a lighting rig that included over 220 fixtures from GLP – including impression X5 and X5 IP Bars – was selected.
In the early summer of 2023 Grönemeyer was persuaded to return to Germany’s arenas, having released his latest (and 17th) album Das ist los in March.
For his latest tour, creatives Gunther Hecker and Rob Sinclair (Peter Gabriel, Madonna, etc.) designed an impressive stage, including a footbridge and B stage. Hecker, who has been part of Grönemeyer’s design team for years, staged this with a lighting rig that included over 220 fixtures from GLP.
The general technical service provider for the tour was satisfy AG, while airformance design created the decorative elements that characterised the stage design in lightweight construction.
Theatrical light and set design is important to the artist, whose roots lie in acting. Therefore, conventional show lighting, with a lot of LED surfaces, was out of the question as was a battle of large moving lights.
