DJs from the New York radio station Z100 announced the artist line-up for the Jingle Ball Tour concert that will take place at Madison Square Garden, December 9. The announcement included a lightshow created by Angel Perez of Fine Quality Events that featured Core 3×3 panels from Chauvet DJ for performances by Charlie Puth, whose debut LP “Nine Track Mind” reached No.21 on the Billboard charts, and Daya of “Hide Away.”
Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, The Chainsmokers, Meghan Trainor, Fifth Harmony, Ellie Goulding, Diplo, Charlie Puth, Lukas Graham, Daya, and Niall Horan are all scheduled to appear at the upcoming holiday event.
Perez used eight Core 3×3 panels on the stage, which was provided and set up by Mobile Stage of West Babylon, New York. Flown on downstage truss and spaced evenly across the width of the stage, the pixel mapping COB LED panels were the lighting rig’s main point of engagement with the crowd.
Using the panels for strobing, chase scenes and color washes, Perez relied on them to set a visual tone for the musical performances and on-stage announcements. “The Core 3×3 was awesome as crowd blinder effect,” he said. “At the same time it created great eye candy with color changes and chases. We had some bright moving fixtures on our rig, and the Cores held their own in terms of brightness. Even during the daylight hours, they were more than bright enough to create the looks we wanted.”
Perez also praised the Core 3×3 for being easy to work with. “The panels have power Edison out to connect to the next unit,” he said. “That really made our set up a lot easier and saved us time. We wanted everything to go smoothly with this very popular event.”
