San Fernando, CA, July 7, 2022 — After completing a North American tour of theatres, arenas, and amphitheaters (up to 10,000-cap.), Californian-based alternative metal band Deftones arrived in Europe in June for a series of sell-out shows in their own right and participation at major festivals.

Deftones’ lighting and production designer, Jon Eddy, has worked with the band and their long-term production manager, Andy Tinsley, for a number of years and knows implicitly how best to light their shows, interpreting and building on the vibe put forward by lead singer Chino Moreno. This time around, he explains: “I wanted to go for something as far away as I could from a typical metal show; instead, I wanted to create something more theatrical, and make it one big, all-inclusive canvas from the floor to the sky.”

Helping him achieve his goals, and proving rock solid throughout, is product not only from the GLP catalogue (notably the JDC1) but GLP Inc.’s Scenex Lighting range, the latter in the shape of LED Pixel Tape, which arrived in Europe as the newly named Shadow Line
