U2 Vertigo Tour Europe

Case study

European leg of U2 Vertigo tour kicks off in style

On Friday, June 10th, U2 kicked off the European leg of the Vertigo tour in Brussels, Belgium. As with the North American leg of the tour, U2 again chose a revolutionary Barco product to form the spectacular backdrop to its show.

Over 52 000 fans watched in awe as they entered the Boudewijn Stadium to be confronted by a spectacular stage featuring a 500 square meter backdrop of Barco's new OLite 510 indoor/outdoor SMD LED display technology.

Driven by Barco's Events Controller and using the Folsom Encore as well as two 10 square meter SLite displays used as I-MAG during the show, almost all visualization equipment used at the show was provided by Barco.

A historic first, Barco has supplied two revolutionary new products to the North American and European legs of the Vertigo tour, thereby reiterating its position as innovation driver within the world wide rental & staging industry.
