FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NASHVILLE, TN – August 2025 — Norwegian prog-metal band Leprous captivated fans across North America with a masterfully crafted visual experience on their 2025 tour, thanks to a dynamic lighting design by Sindre Hansen and production support from Bandit Lites.
Tour and Production Manager Vincent Bezault brought Hansen and Bandit together for this run, and it quickly proved to be a seamless and productive collaboration. “I feel that the communication and the whole process was very positive and professional from start to finish,” said Hansen. “Andrew Ellis offered great service and good solutions, sewing my suggestions into a practical kit that both me and the rest of the crew/band was happy with.”
The lighting package was prepped and demoed at Bandit’s facility, where Hansen was provided with detailed photos and videos of the full floor package ahead of time. “This made it predictable, which meant fewer worries about size, footprint, and setup — and it made the programming easier,” he explained.
The touring rig featured a compact but powerful setup, including:
- 4 Tyler Truss 5
- 4 GLP JDC1 LED Strobes
- 8 Martin MAC One
- 8 ADJ Jolt Bar FX 2
- 1 GrandMA3 Lite Console
- 1 FOH Support Rack
The precise timing and speed of the Martin MAC One fixtures played a key role in Hansen’s design, particularly during one of his favorite moments in the show: a halftime section in “Like a Sunken Ship.” “Here, all moving lights go from one side to the other in a small amount of time,” he shared. “In that look, I love having the precise, fast, and narrow Martin MAC Ones, which did their part flawlessly on this tour.”
With immersive lighting tightly synced to the musical storytelling of Leprous, Hansen’s design—supported by Bandit Lites’ technical expertise—has elevated the band’s 2025 tour into a visually striking experience for fans across each stop.
