TOUR NOTES

The tour design, by show designer Willie Williams, who worked once again with production manager Jake Berry, included a circular B-stage in the center of the arena connected to the main stage on one side. The innovative use of hangs to fill whole arenas with sound was lauded for an “omnipresent” audio effect. A large, double-sided video wall over the ramp was used as well.
