Kid Cudi’s ‘Speeding Bullet to Heaven’ tour had a lighting design by Brett Lorins with Robe moving lights at its heart. Lorins has worked with the artist for five years and coordinates both lighting and video aspects of his live performances. The rig included 10 x MMX Spots, 12 x LEDWash 300s and two LEDWash 600s with the MMX Spots being the main workhorses. This core touring package was complemented by some house lights at each venue.

 

Six MMX Spots were rigged on 6 x 8 foot upright sections of truss onstage, three positioned stage left and three stage right behind a 26 foot wide brick wall set piece. Four more were mid and downstage, with 10 of the LEDWash 300s primarily placed to illuminate the set and double as aerial washes and effects. The other two LEDWash 300s were downstage on the deck and used to side-light Cudi, and the two LEDWash 600s were also on the floor to cross-light him from a low mid-stage position.

 

Upstage a video wall was sitting flush with a 6 foot mirrored tunnel, and six scenic ‘televisions’ onstage were fitted with LED video panels. Video was stored and played back through a Resolume media server, mapped so different clips could be flipped onto the TV sets to ‘change channels’ during the show.

 

The lighting package was supplied by Teri Productions, coordinated by Jay Coatney and Jason Murphy. The initial set design ideas came from the artist himself together with tour manager Silbert Mani from Dmani Entertainment Group and Matt Robertson from Lakewood Creative.
