The rig is all Martin Professional luminaires - a mixture of 2K Profiles, MAC 600s, 500s and 300s, plus Atomic strobes, all split between the trusses and the floor. The downstage and mid-stage trusses are straight and there's two cross-trusses running upstage/downstage which are gently angled onstage, plus a straight drapes truss upstage. This holds a fibre optic starcloth, fed with mega-bright QFX 150 colour changing fibre optic light sources. Paradise is using one of the new Martin Maxxyz consoles for control.
There's no video, so he uses the stage as a large canvas for big beam looks and bold, densely saturated colour frames, simple combinations and eye-catching gobo work. The set contains plenty of mood as well as all the up-tempo rock numbers plus some of their trademark punky infusions, so there's much scope for the dramatic lighting for which Paradise excels.
