Kanye West

We love the set and appreciate all of the thought that went into it. We couldn't have asked for a better or more functional design.

...I reached over and grabbed the hotel stationary, drew this really ridiculous, primitive drawing, took a picture of it on my phone, and sent it to my lighting guy and said, 'Build this.'

Overview:

Kanye West's 2016 Saint Pablo Tour redefined the concert experience. Instead of performing on a traditional stage set at one end of the arena, West and his production team designed a stage that allowed him to perform above the audience. This floating stage was hung on a gantry system that traveled up and down the arena, giving all floor ticket holders a chance to get in on the action. SGPS ShowRig built the custom deck and provided automation and rigging for the tour.

Year: 2016
