Coldplay’s “Twisted Logic” European tour included Glastonbury, Dublin,
London and Bolton. A pair of flagship Christie Roadie 25K projectors
were integrated into the dynamic stage backdrop selected by Robin
Weallean’s company The Picture Works, for their high brightness and native
high resolution output. Created by Siyan show director Bryan Leitch and
lighting designer Nick Whitehouse for Coldplay’s “Twisted Logic” tour,
it was Coldplay’s second world tour with the lighting company Siyan and
the first with the high-output 3-chip DLP
®
Roadies. They were dry hired
to the production by The Picture Works as part of a package that included
sophisticated camera and control equipment. Projection video had been
introduced by Coldplay’s Chris Martin and his creative team, with the idea
of using it selectively in widescreen format, upstage center. Since most
shows have been outdoors, they have needed to rely on all 25,000 ANSI
lumens, 10-bit image processing and 2048 x 1080 resolution of the Roadies.
