Stadium tours
2010
Stageco designed and built the semi-customized stage for the Muse Resistance Tour. The design incorporates a 32 m freespan, to appear as if looking at a big building from the corner. The stage is 60m wide and 34m high at peak.
2009
Following their successful indoor tour, AC/DC kicked off the outdoor European leg of its sold-out Black Ice tour, in Europe’s largest football stadia. Once again it is Stageco ensuring there is solid ground under the band’s feet with its Super Roof.
Stageco supplied the custom designed and manufactured main stage, which was the essential skeleton of the production. The key elements of the stage were six 25m and two 12m conical towers, which represented the poles of a big top.
After accompanying Mylène Farmer’s indoor tour from May until July 2009, Stageco delivered an extended version of its standard Superroof for the last 3 outdoor stadium concerts.
France’s leading rock and roll star Johnny Hallyday used a bespoke stage built by Stageco when he embarked on his tribute to American rock culture, Tour 66.
Coldplay was very keen to create a unique live experience for their fans and, for the first time, contracted international staging experts Stageco to design, manufacture and install the Viva La Vida touring stage.
This is one of the largest stages ever toured in any field of entertainment. The structure’s central grid is raised 28 metres high, with legs traversing the width of the famous pitches, while a central antenna reaches as high as 51 metres.
2008
In response to modern production specifications, Stageco decided to bring a new roof to the market. Bon Jovi needed three roofs and approached us for a standard roof type.
At 110m wide, 27m high and 30m deep, this is one of the largest stages that Stageco has ever built. The operation had two leapfrogging stage sets, shipped in 110 containers, with one single set of décor travelling from show to show.
Each 30m-wide by 22m-deep structure is essentially the same design as those which saw action over the last couple of years with Robbie Williams and George Michael.
2007
For the Police tour Stageco demonstrated the full extent of its international reach. Stageco Belgium and Stageco US worked together to send out seven identical systems simultaneously to complete the tour over 4 continents: Europe, North and South America and Australia.
Genesis chose a state-of-the-art stage for his 2007 world tour, designed by Mark Fisher and Jeremy Lloyd. As one of the most visually spectacular artistes of their era, they opted for a sculpturally ornate structure built of truss.
2006
The band and their Spike Lloyd-designed set, were supported on a 54 metre wide, 18 metre deep, 20 metre high Stageco structure (Towers & Trusses) and floor system (scaffolding & decks) with tailor-made top structure trusses, facia panels and band “roofette”.
The tour started June 2006 and travelled to 19 different cities in Europe where Robbie performed 40 shows for a total audience of 2.000.000 people.
2005
The Bigger Bang touring stage was designed by the Mark Fisher Studio, which liaised with Stageco throughout the process of turning visualizations into a practical touring system.
