We’ve been working with Jamie xx for the last two years, looking after his live shows all across the globe. It’s been 9 years since he has released his last album and “in waves” is just embarking on its new world tour which we are excited to be a part of.
We designed a headline Alexandra Palace show in September 2024 with two sold out nights for Jamie to play his whole album in the iconic London venue. Our visual design centred around a projection based show that immersed the crowed in an array of different waves content that had been animated from the albums artwork.
Simple audience trusses featuring GLP Jdc-1 strobes and Robe Fortes lined the room in order to work alongside video and create a balance between the precise, intense projection and the brighter club moments. This, combined with 20 Ayrton Cobras to light the 2.2m wide mirror ball which, when revealed, received a huge reaction from the crowd.
Jamie's show is notoriously completely live - never playing the same set twice - so Show Kontrol is an integral part of the Mandylights FOH set up to give our team as much notice as possible of upcoming songs as each show's set evolves.
