Mainstage Productions provided technical support for Burna Boy across shows in Paris and at Co-op Live in Manchester during April 2025, working on behalf of Siyan Ltd across both general lighting duties and the production’s RoboSpot system.

The role combined general production support with responsibility for RoboSpot, giving Mainstage involvement across several areas of the lighting setup. From load-in and preparation through to show operation and load-out, the focus was on keeping the lighting package moving and supporting the wider crew wherever required.

During the shows, Mainstage worked with the Robe RoboSpot system, supporting its setup, checks and operation as part of the production lighting team. Moving between general technical duties and the more specialised RoboSpot role made this a varied project and provided the opportunity to work across different parts of the production.

With dates in both Paris and Manchester’s Co-op Live, the project brought together large-scale arena production, a busy lighting package and the fast turnaround expected at this level of live entertainment.

For Mainstage, the Burna Boy shows are another example of the range of roles we undertake within major live productions — from specialist systems and show operation through to getting stuck in with the wider production team when needed.
