Elbow UK Arena Tour

Elbow had skyrocketed from playing small venues to filling large arenas. The band wanted to maintain the intimacy of smaller-scale performances while maximising the potential of expansive arena stages. To do that, they needed their closing moment to feel both powerful and personal – strong enough to captivate fans, create memories and deepen connections.

At the end of Elbow’s set, we released a series of giant illuminated spheres above the audience, sending them floating down in a wave-like sequence. We designed the orbs within larger scenic shades, which meant they appeared to be part of the wider set until the final moment. Each globe changed colour as it drifted into the crowd, where they bounced between fans’ raised hands in a unique moment of spirit and synchronicity.
