How do bands rehearse for big arena shows?! Take a look at how we spent 4 days at a purpose-built rehearsal space getting ready for an Arena show as an audio engineer. With enough space to build the video wall, staging, kabuki drop and pyro we can practice the set multiple times to make sure everything will run smoothly on the show day. We took this production to Alexandra Palace in London to play in front of a 10,000-sold-out crowd and after this, we scaled it down to take it to Europe for 2000-4000 capacity venues.
