Michael Bublé The Higher Tour

Building on our decade-long relationship with the Michael Bublé production, we collaborated on a design with STUFISH to create a stage setup for the Canadian singer and his band and chorus ensembles. The six-level tiered Mag Deck system featured LED integration along the outer edges and perfectly created the big band aesthetic desired for the tour. Our tiered system was split down the middle by a Mag Deck video floor ramp to the main stage level. The main stage was surrounded by our fabricated frame that featured LED fascia and a cascade of silver velvet soft goods falling from it. A custom-built acrylic staircase completed with LED lights led to a video thrust that ended in a smaller B stage that brought Bublé closer to his fans and featured sunken pits for the band. We also created an Austrian system that dropped fabric around three sides of the stage as well as two roll drops that acted as IMAG projection screens.
