KISS
KISS
Overview:
KISS have been raising the bar for concert touring since the 1970s and their farewell End of the Road tour was no different. To achieve SRae Productions' design, SGPS ShowRig built 17 video pods with custom spiked fascia, a theme that carried through to the upstage video wall and stage surround. These video pods could be individually articulated to create various looks throughout the show and 3 of them were reinforced to allow performers to ride them in from the grid.
SGPS ShowRig also provided a custom pyro riser, drum riser, performer lifts, lighting pantagraphs, zipline system, and performer flying crane arms. This massive production gave the audience the nonstop thrills that they have come to expect from a KISS concert experience

Kanye West
Kanye West
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.

Orbit Tour
Overview:
SGPS ShowRig provided the custom DJ booth for Zedd's 2019 Orbit Tour. The design called for a ring of video that "orbited" around a central performance platform. In order to achieve this design, SGPS ShowRig stripped LED video tiles from their frames and carefully wrapped them into a circular shape. This allowed for video to be seen on both the inner and outer faces of the ring, as well as on the platform itself. The ring was capable of rotating 2 revolutions per minute.
