Mainstage Productions supported Solotech UK on Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour, working within the lighting department across dimmers, power and show networking.

The role covered the day-to-day deployment and operation of the touring lighting infrastructure, getting systems up and running during load-in, looking after them through the show and turning everything around ready for the next venue.

With power and networking sitting at the heart of the lighting package, it was a role that touched almost every part of the system. Quick fault-finding and keeping things moving were just as important as the initial setup, particularly across a busy touring schedule.

Short n’ Sweet combined a highly polished creative production with the pace of a major international tour, making it a brilliant project to be part of.

For Mainstage, it also represents the kind of practical touring experience behind our approach to production systems — designing, supplying and supporting technology with an understanding of what actually happens once the doors open and the show starts.
