Overview

For Arch Enemy’s 2026 U.S. Tour, Lighting Designer Sean Hedrick created a floor-driven lighting design built around the band’s elevated performance platforms. Using multiple fixture layers to frame the musicians and create depth across the stage. The package combined Robe MegaPointes for sharp aerial and beam work with GLP JDC1s and Chauvet STRIKE 2s for high-impact strobe and audience effects, while Chauvet Rogue Outcast 2X Washes provided saturated color and broad stage coverage. The production layout positioned lighting throughout the riser system, along the backline, and at the downstage edges, allowing the design to maintain its scale without relying on a large dedicated overhead rig,
