Ed Sheeran +–=÷x
“Mathematics” World Tour
After a hiatus and Pandemic, Ed Sheeran returned to concert touring with his Mathematics World Tour, delivering shows in a new in-the-round stadium format.
The striking design by Mark Cunniffe, is an engineering marvel, not seen on a touring show of this scale.
Matt returned as Lighting Director and Operator again, for another Ed Sheeran World Tour.
Matt’s careful eye for detail, and structured approach meant that all shows from rehearsals until the end of the European Tour, and beyond, were delivered ensuring Mark’s creative design and vision were maintained.
Another “video heavy” show of show of such size and scale meant that Ed had to be carefully and consistently lit, to ensure that his image was always clean and consistent.
Every show was delivered in close collaboration with Matt and the Video Director, Video Engineer and Video console operator.
The Mathematics tour brought with it a range of new challenges. It is one of the first tours of this scale to run the new grandMA 3 software. The show design also included Automation elements, which also required collaboration with the Automation department.
