Estopa captivates the audience on their tour with a striking lighting design

The iconic Spanish duo Estopa is currently on their 25th Anniversary tour, marking a milestone in every city they visit. One of the tour's highlights is the impressive stage setup, featuring dazzling lighting designed by Juanjo Beloqui and equipment provided by Fluge Audiovisuales.

 

The presence of Ayrton and Claypaky brands has also been fundamental to the tour's visual success.

 

From the start the tour has been an undeniable success, taking Estopa to prestigious stages in the United States, Latin America, and Spain. Cities like Valencia, Seville, Madrid, and Bilbao have witnessed an unforgettable show that has filled stadiums and captured the essence of this famous musical duo's anniversary.

One of the tour's standout aspects is the lighting design, which has captivated all attendees thanks to the meticulous planning by Juanjo Beloqui, responsible for the design:

 

We have carefully programmed everything so that there is almost no difference between the devices. The integration of effects, whether it be movement, color changes, or intensity, has to be very coordinated to avoid noticeable jumps in characteristics. Beyond using the Eurus in spot mode and the Perseos in beam mode for most cues.

 

A key challenge for the team was balancing video and lighting, ensuring that both elements complemented each other without overshadowing the other during the show. The perfect synchronization between these aspects has made this tour a truly memorable visual experience.

For a tour of this magnitude, equipment capable of delivering exceptional performance at each location is needed. Thus, a combination of Ayrton and Claypaky luminaires were chosen, demonstrating their versatility and quality throughout the tour. Below are some of the fixtures selected for the show:

  • 60 Units of Ayrton Eurus-S Spot LED Profile: These luminaires have been essential in creating an impressive grid above the stage, adding depth and dynamism to the show. With optics specifically developed for stage applications, the Eurus S offers powerful and precise metallic white light with an intensity of 36,000 lumens and a color temperature of 6700 K. Their versatility has allowed for detailed and precise spot effects during performances.
  • 30 Units of Ayrton Perseo Beam: The Perseo Beams have been used to generate visually striking effects with great precision. This model stands out for its 48 fixed and rotating gobos, combined with 4 prisms that allow for unique and creative light patterns. Their ability to generate intense and well-defined beams has been key in creating spectacular visual scenes.
  • 12 Units of Claypaky A.LEDA B-EYE K20 and K25: These wash luminaires have played a crucial role in the lighting design. The B-EYE units have been used frontally to illuminate the audience and highlight each effect on stage. Their ability to switch between a wide range of zoom angles, from 4° to 60°, and their high color quality have been fundamental in highlighting characters and creating impactful effects in each show.
  • 48 Units of Claypaky HY B-EYE K25: These members of the B-EYE family are used in the delay towers to illuminate the audience, achieving an impressive color wash thanks to their superior power, reaching 900W.

I wanted to design a completely LED setup and it was a good opportunity to get to know these luminaires up close. We chose these devices for their versatility and intensity, highlights Juanjo Beloqui.

 

The careful design and perfect synchronization between lighting and video have elevated this tour to new heights, offering the audience a visual experience that perfectly complements the energy and enthusiasm of Estopa's musical repertoire.
