Designer Rob Sinclair has just completed a tour leg for Queen + Adam Lambert
that finished in New Zealand Sept. 3. We caught the show while the band
was touring the U.S. and spoke with Sinclair about the tour he directed
as well. Among some of Sinclair’s credits — Miley Cyrus, Peter Gabriel,
Pet Shop Boys and Keane (all covered in past PLSN issues). He’s
also designed for Adele, Vampire Weekend, Goldfrapp and many more.
Here’s what Sinclair had to say about the Queen + Adam Lambert tour.
Rob Sinclair, Lighting Designer/Director:
“I first got involved with Queen when Juliette Slater, the tour director, asked me to become involved with The Queen Extravaganza Tour, which is the official tribute show, produced by Roger Taylor and Brian May. We had a great time working on that show, and I was then asked to light the previous Queen + Adam Lambert shows in 2012. It’s always great to have repeat business, and I was delighted to be asked back this year.
“Working with Queen is very daunting because of their long and impressive legacy of amazing, cutting edge shows stretching back to the 1970’s. Both Brian and Roger know a lot about the mechanics of production, and it’s always great to work with clients who like to be involved at all stages of the process. This is one tour I stayed on as lighting director when the band asked very nicely, the dates worked out and it’s one of those lovely tours where the whole team is a pleasure to be with. Plus, I get to run lights for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ every night. What’s not to love?

The Queen stage consisting of the lighting/lasers, the Q contraption that can be lowered and elevated, the Q-tail path, the sound system...all constitute to the QAL spectacular staging. So meticulous and well executed. I think the whole Q-staging team has to be given huge congratulations! Very experienced with no major pitfalls. Having said that the lighting/lasers were exemplary indeed.
