A monumental stage, more than 900 lighting fixtures, 1,200 square meters of LED screens, and a creative vision that continues to evolve year after year. For Vasco Live 2026, lighting designer Giovanni Pinna signs the third chapter of a scenic project that has now become a fully-fledged visual identity, refined season after season through continuous innovation.
The heart of the project is the "ULTIMO Hybrid" by Claypaky, a versatile luminaire with endless creative possibilities that Pinna has chosen to deploy en masse for this tour. To light up the vast stage, he has allocated more than 250 units of this moving head, grouped in 9 different positions to achieve a dynamic, cohesive, and visually striking lighting design.
Each of these "ULTIMO Hybrid" delivers high-performance optics, fast and precise movements, and a wide range of effects - from saturated colors to intricate gobos, beams, and complex aerial patterns - guaranteeing an unparalleled level of visual impact.
"The 'ULTIMO Hybrid' has become the core of my lighting setup for the Vasco Live 2026 tour," explains Giovanni Pinna. "It's a precise and versatile tool that allows me to create different looks, from lush, enveloping atmospheres to razor-sharp beams that cut through the stage. The combination of its compact size and its striking visual power makes it the perfect match for this ambitious project."
In addition to the "ULTIMO Hybrid," Pinna has also incorporated other Claypaky fixtures, including the "Sharpy" and the "Sharpy Wash," to complete his lighting design and achieve the desired creative vision. "Claypaky has once again proven to be a reliable partner, providing us with the technological solutions we need to bring this iconic show to life," concludes the lighting designer.
The Vasco Live 2026 tour, the third chapter of an unforgettable visual journey, is set to captivate audiences with its groundbreaking lighting design and cutting-edge technology. The fusion of Giovanni Pinna's creative vision and the power of Claypaky's "ULTIMO Hybrid" promises an unforgettable experience that will push the boundaries of live entertainment.
