600 Robe moving lights steal the show at Eurovision 2023
More than 600 Robe moving lights were used to dazzle audiences at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, UK.

Lighting designer Tim Routledge and a team of technical specialists specified more than 600 Robe moving lights for the design which comprised approximately 2,500 luminaires as well as 2 kilometres of LED tape, culminating in 17,500 individual light sources when counting the individual pixel cells of various fixtures supplied by lighting equipment contractor, Neg Earth Lights.

The lighting rig includes a 15-way Robe RoboSpot remote follow system running with 15 out of the 66 Robe Fortes in the building, positioned all around the arena.

The Forte parameters can be controlled via FOH grandMA3 consoles, leaving the operators to focus on following the artists.

152 LEDBeam 150s were installed, alongside 84 Paintes, 123 Spiider, 190 TetraXs, 12 Robe FMFL blades and 12 Robe PATT2013s.

The lighting rig included a 15-way Robe RoboSpot remote follow system running with 15 out of the 66 Robe FORTES in the building, which were positioned all around the arena, offering the flexibility of picking up artists from any angle, eliminating shadows and ensuring faces looked perfect.

The FORTE parameters could all be controlled via the FOH grandMA3 consoles, leaving the operators free to concentrate on following the artists.

A back wall of TetraXs are also used to create amaze effects for artists, mounted on the reverse side of seven LED columns making up the back wall of screen which rotated 360 degrees to reveal the TetraXs.
