Description

Engineering the Battlefield: Sabaton’s "The Legendary Tour" took theatrical metal to a whole new level by suspending a massive, 24-meter-long catwalk drawbridge directly over the heads of thousands of fans across Europe. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes look, Automation Project Manager Jimmy Johnson from MOTOR Stage Automation breaks down the technical secrets of this colossal construction, from its HOF MLT FOUR truss backbone to the custom-developed M:CAT series elements. We also sit down with lighting designer Bertil Mark to discuss the challenges of illuminating such a massive rig.

🔥 Check out the full video to see how heavy metal history meets the absolute cutting edge of stage automation and design.
