Lighting designer Robb Jibson turned to Atomic to help realize Panic! at the Disco’s vision for their first U.S. tour. The band’s theatrical and larger-than-life style fit perfectly with their desire for “an off-kilter carnival that had seen better days” vibe. We set the show inside a worn-out circus tent complete with a peaked canopy and band risers resembling old circus props. To top it all off, we created a backdrop of a Victorian-era audience behind the band to mirror and complement the screaming fans out front.
