SHAED

Tour · 2019

2019 was a breakout year for SHAED. Their single Trampoline had just landed an Apple MacBook Air ad, and their first US headline tour was coming up. The band wanted a show their own touring crew could set up themselves.

We designed a lighting package inspired by their early 2019 artwork. One early version of the portals looked a little like coffins, so it was back to the drawing board. We landed on a simpler shape that was easy for the crew to set up.

Then SHAED got the chance to play a sold-out Forum in Los Angeles with Coldplay and Billie Eilish. With a few programming changes we scaled the club show up to the arena rig, so the band made a lasting first impression on a big new audience.
