Multinational classical crossover quartet Il Divo recently embarked on their 20th-anniversary tour, bringing powerful vocal performances of their expansive catalogue of classical and pop music to fans across the UK and Europe. The tour saw the foursome delighting audiences across a diverse range of venues, from intimate theatres to concert halls and major arenas. As Headliner learns, the tour team’s challenge was to ensure precision and power, and to maintain impeccable sound, no matter the stage…
Event technology specialist, Adlib, provided full-service audio, lighting, and video solutions for the Il Divo Tour. Central to its approach was an innovative L-Acoustics L Series system, which proved to be the backbone of the tour's sound design.
The team selected the L Series for its superior sound quality and capabilities in handling Il Divo's diverse musical repertoire, but it also offered a practical solution for navigating the complexities of the tour.
"The reduced weight and size compared to traditional arrays meant more efficient truck packing," explains Richy Nicholson, senior account manager at Adlib. "While maintaining our truck count, the space efficiency gave us greater flexibility in load-in and load-out procedures. The system's quick deployment capabilities also meant reduced setup times and lower energy consumption during preparation phases."
