1860 tons for the Rolling Stones
Their concert in front of a 50,000-strong crowd in Zurich on September 20 proved that the Rolling Stones are the biggest rock band alive, certainly in terms of material moved.
A huge stage, four giant screens in the shape of towers, a Rolling Stones concert is always a concert of superlatives. It's not our habit at the Swiss Music ReviewIt's not easy to report on a show, no matter how gigantic, but we thought it would be interesting to publish a few figures provided by the production team, showing what such an event entails in terms of equipment and organization.
Installation of the show lasted 12 days and involved 1371 people, 762 of whom were present on the day of the show to ensure its smooth running. Between stage structures, sound systems and lighting, the equipment represented 1,860 tons, moved by 43 trucks. And 223 kilometers of cable were needed to connect it all.
