Litestructures for Westlife
Litestructures have been building Westlife's stage sets for seven years now, but their latest is the biggest yet. Designed for their 2008 'Back Home' tour, the three-tier stage is shaped in their signature 'W' format, and measures an impressive 72' wide by 40' deep and 12' high.
Following an original concept by Alan MacDonald, it took the Litestructures design team just six weeks to complete the technically advanced structure.
Features within and around the stage's 55 LiteDeck platform modules included a brand new 3.5m high modular leg lift, constructed using LitePro 4 heavy duty truss. This lift passes through all three tiers. In addition, Litestructures built a 10m 'totem pole', also using LitePro 4, which sits centrally atop the highest tier, and which houses a laser feature. Rollability for the lower tier was achieved using legframe snap-on bracing. Some 32m of handrails, with perforated aluminium panelling and extra, custom design, access steps to the rear of the structure, round off this impressive rig.
Westlife then spent seven days in the Litestructures Studios in both technical and full rehearsal, before taking to the road. From Boys to Men in a week!
