Oasis of light
Oasis’ Dig Out Your Soul world tour is currently using more than 140 i-Pix BB4 wash lights for its stadium gigs - a record number of i-Pix fixtures for a single concert touring show.
The original touring rig had just 42, along with seven BB7s. It used only 30 BB4s, with six units rigged horizontally onto each of five steeply raked upstage/downstage ‘finger’ trusses.
Now, an extra finger truss has been added over the stage, along with another six integral BB4s rigged in vertical pairs. The other 12 BB4s from the original rig are still there, mounted on six, four foot high vertical poles, three of which are positioned either side of the stage in boom positions, shooting directly across the band.
A further eight BB4s have also been added to the downstage edge, to provide some foot-lighting, the low profile of the BB4 enabling the unit to stay concealed in both positions.
