Concept

In the heart of the Middle East, PHNTM and Live Nation partnered with Take Me Live to bring Blackpink's electrifying energy to the stage across Abu Dhabi and Riyadh. The mission was to fuse cutting-edge technology with artistic precision, transforming each venue into an immersive visual and sonic spectacle. Dynamic LED displays, intricate lighting, and explosive effects created a high-impact experience worthy of the global superstars.

Story

Commissioned by Live Nation Middle East, PHNTM and Take Me Live collaborated to deliver the full technical production for Blackpink's Middle Eastern tour. Working from an extensive rider, Take Me Live led local vendor management, ensuring flawless execution in both cities.

Staged on the Star Live Titan—the world's largest outdoor structure—the shows featured six automated LED screens, 500 lighting fixtures, 40 lasers, and 100 special effects units including flames, CO2, and pyrotechnics.

We also supported an 18-camera iMAG system that streamed live footage to massive side LED screens, amplifying the experience for over 70,000 fans.

The tour concluded with a synchronized pyrotechnic finale designed alongside the touring team. This seamless blend of technology and creativity reinforced PHNTM, Live Nation, and Take Me Live's reputation for delivering large-scale, world-class productions.
