Lighting design & consultancy — live, event & architectural
From arena tours to intimate architectural spaces, Shadoworks designs lighting that turns a moment into a memory — built on three decades on the road with the world's biggest acts.
Behind every show, we design and manage the full technical build — power, network, structural, audio, video and lighting — for events of any scale.
New — Technical Direction · Qiddiya City, KSA
Technical Director services for a large temporary event structure at Six Flags, Qiddiya City — designed and built between February and May 2026, with full infrastructure including power, HVAC and rigging.
Exhibition — Riyadh, 2025
Our most recent work steps outside the touring world into fine-art installation lighting — a citywide exhibition where every beam had to serve the work, not compete with it.
From concept to installation

Technical Director and lighting design services for the UAE Pavilion at COP17 — coordinating build, AV and lighting across delegate lounges and exhibition spaces on a fixed diplomatic timeline.

Full lighting design for Il Divo's Vegas Residency and South American Tour — from arena stages to an ornate 1,700-seat domed theatre, the rig adapts to the room without losing the show's signature scale.
Design to stage
Live — Europe & North America, 2017–2018
Full lighting design across two consecutive tours for Sir Tom Jones — engaged again for a second year on the strength of the first, with the design evolved from warm, open staging in 2017 to a signature symmetric video-and-beam backdrop in 2018.

Festival — Sweden
Main stage lighting design for David Guetta at one of Scandinavia's largest festivals — beam walls, laser fans and pyro timed to a headline set in front of tens of thousands.
A cross-section of tours, one-off shows and private events lit over the last few years.
The studio
Shadoworks Lighting and Production Design has spent years on stages, in arenas and on architectural sites, learning that great lighting is felt before it's noticed.
We work across live touring, one-off events and permanent installations, combining rig and load calculations with a creative eye built from real road experience.
We learn the space, the brief and the budget before drawing a single beam.
Rig plans, load calculations and creative direction, tailored to the show.
Labor, gear and on-site management so the design holds under show conditions.
Beyond lighting design, Shadoworks designs and manages the full technical build behind an event — power, network, structural, audio, video and lighting.
Creative direction and rig design for touring, festivals, events and architectural installations — from concept through show file.
On-site and pre-production technical direction — coordinating crew, vendors and departments so the design holds up under real show conditions.
Power, network, structural, audio and video systems engineered to spec alongside lighting — load calculations, distro planning and infrastructure built for the full event, not just the rig.
