SIMPLY RED— 40th Anniversary Tour 2025
Concerts & Touring
Performer stage and full automation package for the legendary Simply Red celebrating their 40th Anniversary Tour across the UK and Europe. Four decades of ‘Holding back the years’ and the emotions still run high at every single show.
AUTOMATION
WI were honoured to have been called in to add some extra visual vibe to this great stage thanks to 6 motioned LX light trusses for which we brought in 12 pre-rig WI hoists (500kg & 800kg) plus 3 WI PD winches for the follow spots to move perfectly in sync with the trusses.
WISTAGE
Besides automation, WI also delivered a 360° performer WISTAGE (19x9.5m) including decks, rails and a 10x2.5 m band riser finished with a full-perimeter LED strip. A modular 360° system that is constantly upgraded. Static or on wheels. Modest or as a full performer stage. With or without integrated motion devices. For indoor or outdoor use. All scenarios are possible.
When designing this WISTAGE, our objective was to create a flexible, solid and easy to setup staging solution for touring and all types of events.
