Flare Q+ on Foo Fighters tour
- Details
“We are going very light for quick runs of festivals,” says Hadley, “I had to make sure that the fixtures we were bringing packed a punch. I used the original Flares on the last tour to bash and colour the crowd. The Q+ Linears do the same job while providing an unbroken line of light and colour. This adds a sort of architectural/scenic element that makes it stand out from any other lighting rig that the audience is seeing that day, and in such a ‘contest,’ I couldn’t help but use them quite liberally!”
Hadley continues, “I wasn’t very worried about asking PRG to purchase 27 active fixtures, as I was confident that even though this was only a short tour, I would be using them in the next design as well. I expect they’ll wear out more case wheels than shelf liners.
“The new Flare Q+ is brighter than the original Flare, but both are very effective reminders to check if ‘Highlight’ is on.”
