It had been almost two years since I last visited Fly By Nite at its Redditch HQ, and, as many in the sector are aware, the company has since faced the heartbreaking reality of soldiering on after the death of founder, David Coumbe. A stalwart of the industry who founded the company in 1989, his presence is still felt at the logistics specialists’ offices and in the minds of the staff. Since his passing, members of upper management had to assume new roles and honour Coumbe’s legacy, including the newly appointed Director, Joanne Sewards and Operations Director, Paul Walker.

“It was very important for the team that Dave’s legacy lived on in all the work we do,” stated Sewards. “It took a year for everyone to settle into new roles following Dave’s passing,” added Walker. “It was a great loss and required some adjusting as a company. However, the biggest thing we miss – apart from his character – is his vast array of contacts on both sides of the pond. He’d also come across every scenario imaginable when it came to transport. We have taken the wealth of knowledge that Dave passed on, and through his teachings and values, we are able to contribute to the level and standard he set.”

The electronic music festival returns with Areal’s brand-new Upmix Engine providing sonic immersion across all stages.

Tomorrowland Winter is like very few festivals on the events calendar. Staged 2,000m above sea level at the picturesque Alpe d’Huez ski resort in the French Alps, the festival combines skiing, snowboarding, and electronic music, attracting 22,000 revellers to the slopes for a week of sun, snow, and immersive beats.

This year saw the introduction of several new stage concepts, including ORBYZ and a brand-new MainStage. The Cage stage also received a technological overhaul, featuring a reimagined Floating Sky and an enhanced sound design courtesy of Areal.

Naming a tour The Next Level, the expectation for a great production was already set, yet when it comes to decorated Hollywood composer, Hans Zimmer, whose shows are already equal parts epic and cinematic, TPi wondered what more could be in store for audiences. TPi met the team behind the tour at The O2 in London to uncover what pushed this live show up a level.

Production Manager, Jim Baggott, and Tour Director, Michael Weiss, took care of the 150-strong touring party and the 20-truck production. The suppliers included Neg Earth Lights (Lighting, Rigging and Automation), Britannia Row Productions – part of Clair Global (audio), BBM Clair (video), All Access Staging & Productions (staging), Beat The Street (bussing), Trucking Service, NorthHouse (screen visuals), Eat Your Hearts Out (catering) and Lightswitch (lighting and concept design).

For a publication that showcases the best visual creatives, often encyclopaedic in their knowledge of the latest in event technology, it’s amusing to think that, often, the goal in show design is to hide technology to ‘keep the magic’. However, this seemed to be the goal behind the design for French rapper Tiakola’s latest tour, where the creatives sought to create a truly mobile, integrated stage space that would meld with the rapper’s performance and that of his band.

TPi caught up with Julien Peyrache and Michael Berzon of Alien le studio, who oversaw scenography and lighting design for the project. Having been brought in by Nonstop Productions, the duo began initial conversations with Tiakola’s producers, Morgan Antonutti and Marie-Sandrine Martin, to discuss the show’s vision 🗣️

Fresh off another successful Core Pro Show, Core Pro Audio opens the doors to a new space for immersive audio workflows.

On top of brands sharing time with attendees at Core Pro Show, visitors got an exclusive look at the company’s brand-new L-Acoustics L-ISA Auditorium – the first of its kind in the UK, meeting the specification outlined by L-Acoustics. “We didn’t want to provide a truss box in a warehouse but maximise the opportunity by providing a space that is unique,” stated Tim Bamber, Director of Core Pro Audio. “The end result is a full spec L-ISA Auditorium, which means any engineer can roll in their control setup and start working on a mix for an upcoming show, or use the in-house system.”

#AD @truss_aluminium_factory´s Tower 3 is engineered for productions where height, load capacity and safety cannot be compromised.

With a maximum height of 20 m and a load capacity of 8000 kg, it expands the lifting possibilities within our tower range. Alongside Tower 2 (12 m / 2000 kg), it offers a solution for larger-scale builds that require extended height and significantly higher load performance.

The integrated safety lock tube provides additional mechanical security during operation, while the durable steel sleeve block enhances structural strength and long-term reliability under heavy loads.

Designed for large LED installations, complex lighting systems and demanding stage structures, Tower 3 delivers controlled lifting, rigidity and confidence at height.
