Information

The central stage used during the 2016 / 2017 Festival tour was produced by Brilliant Stages and is almost identical to that of the Made In Germany tours. As such, it features an 18m wide, 1m tall 2-tier design. The center section, which acts as the drum riser, features a doorway with the band cross logo to the backstage area. Located on either side of the door are 2 speed-controlled fans.

The stage also features panels of Neaco NI bar aluminium grating which are installed at the start of the day to the festival stage to allow for the bands lighting and stage effects from below the stage to pass through.

The 3D Multi-layered, Grid-like Backdrop, which measures 24m by 11m, featured during the tour, as well as the various lighting rigs, were produced by Perry Scenic.[1]
