Follow on Google News | Coldplay Mystifies Crowds with Lasers on the Mylo Xyloto World TourWorld renowned rock icons COLDPLAY have once again partnered with Strictly FX, to incorporate a stunning laser light show into their 2012 Mylo Xyloto World Tour.
By: Justin Perry - Pangolin Laser Systems The COLDPLAY Mylo Xyloto tour is just finishing a huge show for the BRIT Awards in the UK, which still has fans talking. And as Strictly FX journeys along for the ride with COLDPLAY on the massive 2012 World Tour, the team has brought six of their high powered Arctos Lasers with them, which were specifically programmed to dance alongside the colorful graffiti- clad production that COLDPLAY has in store for their fans. The gear used on the road includes four 34-watt RGBY Arctos diode lasers, and two 32-watt RGBY Arctos diode lasers. The programming for such a show is no easy task, and the team at Strictly FX decided to go with long time partner Pangolin Laser Systems for the job. Strictly FX programmed the show using seven Pangolin LD2000/BEYOND systems, including one LD2000 PRO system all ran via the Pangolin network. Pangolin was a clear choice for Strictly FX, as their systems are extremely powerful for such high profile events, producing fantastic colors and wonderful beams, while still being easy to use. And Pangolin controllers have time and time again been proven to be the most reliable in the laser industry for big show scenarios. Strictly FX is one piece of the puzzle that makes up COLDPLAY’s massive world tour. And their team has really come together to produce a laser light show which has a truly unique overall look. The high powered lasers create compliments of stunning color, which perfectly balance the ambient nature of COLDPLAY’s musical talent. Strictly FX’s unique programming style using Pangolin, combined with their versatile high wattage laser projectors from Arctos, have come together to produce a show that is sure to amaze. Each laser is capable of such a vast variety of colors, from the pinks to the blues, that they truly capture the essence and feeling of the show. And these lasers’ high wattage allows for them not to get lost in the brightness of the lighting and the video screens, really making the lasers stand out from all of the other lighting being used. Thus, each lasers create a massive blanket of colored light that stretches across the entire arena and really captures the fan’s imaginations.  In addition, the Mylo Xyloto tour is continuing to use Strictly FX’s massive specialty UV confetti cue, which has become a staple at every Coldplay show. Select stadium dates contain a giant pyro opener and finale, creating huge exclamation points to the beginning and ending to the show.
