THE CHICKS: FROM UNDERPLAY TO HEADLINE RUN

TAKING THE LONG WAY: 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR
LMG Touring supported Video and Lighting for The Chicks across two tours this Summer and Fall. The first run consisted of festival dates, Tim McGraw support shows, and C-arenas. LMG provided a lighting package and two touring lighting crew. The rig featured GLP JDC Line 1000s, Ayrton Rivales, and Astera AX-2 Pixelbars, controlled by GrandMA3, a Resolume media server, and was backed by an Agora fiber network.
In September, the tour re-launched with a series of headline shows and a fresh design, headed up by production designer Kyle Keegan of Voyage Productions and creative director Emily Cox. The headline tour upgraded to AVStumpfl Pixera media servers and carried Barco QDX 4K45 projectors, mapped on to varying soft goods that outlined the stage. The upgraded lighting package featured (6) iEsprite LTL Followspots, an upstage ladder grid of Martin VDO Sceptrons and Robe BeamLED 150s, a two-piece chandelier filled with RobeLED Beam 150s, and a floor package consisting of GLP Impression X4 20s and Astera AX-2s. LMG's five-person lighting crew and projectionist / Pixera operator ensured successful day-to-day deployment.
