Dave Matthews Band Elevates Summer Tour With Elation Lighting

Lighting designer Aaron Stinebrink selected Elation’s Rayzor Blade and Pulse Bar fixtures for the Dave Matthews Band’s summer 2025 tour. The design used 24 Rayzor Blades and 24 Pulse Bars arranged in geometric patterns to provide strobing, effects and wash lighting. Stinebrink said the fixtures’ small size, brightness and pixel control made them versatile, and he used an Elation NETRON data distribution system for reliability. The rig provided dynamic looks for outdoor amphitheatres across North Americahttps://www.usitt.org/news/dave-matthews-band-elevates-summer-tour-elation-lighting#:~:text=Dave%20Matthews%20Band%20,see%20touring%20acthttps://www.usitt.org/news/dave-matthews-band-elevates-summer-tour-elation-lighting#:~:text=level%2C%E2%80%9D%20Stinebrink%20comments,%E2%80%9D.
