Travis Shirley updates band's show look with clean, impactful design. Lighting supply by Bandit Lites.

One of the top selling country music acts for well over a decade, Rascal Flatts is what lighting designer Travis Shirley calls a legacy act. With their 20th anniversary fast approaching and 17 No. 1 hits behind them, it's easy to see why. That legacy continued this summer on the country trio's "Summer Playlist" tour with pods of Elation Smarty Hybrid moving heads providing striking yet elegant lighting impact.

Bandit Lites supplied more than 250 fixtures for the tour, a package that included Elation Cuepix Blinder WW4s and profile, wash and beam moving heads, as well as the Smarty Hybrids. The "Summer Playlist" tour kicked off May 16th and has the band playing dates across the U.S. until September 21st. Lighting Director is Andy Knighton.
