A few years ago, most of the engines of a tour They worked before the audience entered. They would raise a screen, set up a structure, or help during the setup. Once the concert began, the spotlight shifted to the lighting, video, and sound. Today the situation is very different.
More and more productions are using variable speed to transform the scenario during the show itself. Screens that change position, platforms that appear at specific moments in the show, lighting structures that modify the stage space, or suspended elements that are part of the visual narrative.
Automation no longer lives behind the scenes. It's on stage.
When we talk about Moveket, we're talking about a brand that has established itself as one of the references in motion control for touring, Large-scale international productions and stages. We're not just talking about lifting loads. We're talking about moving structures at variable speeds, controlling positions, repeating cues night after night, and maintaining safety when lighting, video, and set design share the same workspace.
To Stonex, Distributing Moveket isn't about adding another brand to the portfolio. It's about putting a [brand/product/service] in the hands of the Spanish touring industry. technology that responds to the demands of stage mechanics today: security.
Spanish touring now demands a different way of understanding rigging
Spain is no longer observing this trend from the sidelines. In the last year, several national tours have incorporated stage movement with a clear intention: to give more depth to the show, expand the visual language, and transform previously static structures into active resources of the staging.
What's interesting is that it doesn't correspond to a single type of artist or a single format. It appears in pop, urban, rock, Latin music, and productions where video, lighting, and set design share the same creative weight.
That's where Moveket starts to gain ground in domestic productions. Not only because of its variable-speed motors, but also because of its ability to precisely control movement, monitor every maneuver, and to give technical teams a safe and reliable tool when lighting, video, set design and artists share the same space of risk.
On tour The witch, the girl and the dragon de Lola IndigoThree lifting platforms were integral to some of the most recognizable moments of the performance. Their movement was synchronized with lighting, effects, and visual content to create appearances and changes in height integrated into the show's narrative. In this type of application, where a performer is lifted live, there is zero tolerance for error: ultra-smooth starts and stops, with software-controlled acceleration ramps, are key to avoiding dangerous inertia and protecting both the structure and the safety of the performer on it.
On the tour of Bad Gyal, Automation has allowed the set design itself to actively participate in the visual development of the show, adding a new layer of movement to the production.
La De La Ossa production They opted for a suspended LED screen with four variable-speed motors from Moveket, allowing its position to be changed during the performance. This feature transforms the video's presence on stage and adds a new layer of depth to the visual design. However, moving a large-format LED screen live also involves managing the dynamic stress that each acceleration, braking, or change of position generates on the rigging. The variable speed and the integration of monitoring systems help prevent load spikes on the anchor points, protecting both the screen and the venue's infrastructure.
In Rawayana tourThe movement has had more layers within the lighting and set design. The production has incorporated four variable-speed Moveket motors to move a light panel, four lighting fingers equipped with two motors each, and two additional motors to control a ball suspended above the stage. In this type of setup, the challenge lies not only in moving different elements, but also in maintaining control over loads, positions, and speeds within a coordinated and safe operation.
Although each production responds to a different artistic vision, they all reflect the same evolution: the stage is no longer a static space. It transforms, adapts, and accompanies the rhythm of the performance.
International productions confirmed with Moveket
What's happening on national tours is part of a much broader evolution. In larger international productions, movement has ceased to be an isolated phenomenon and has become a... critical infrastructure of the show.
Suspended LED screens, automated lighting pods, lifting platforms, mobile catwalks, and moving set pieces are all standard features of shows where every transition must be executed exactly the same way for months on tour. And when movement enters the scene, the conversation It begins to revolve around security and control.
The tour Radical Optimism Tour de Dua Lipa It is one of the most representative examples of this trend. Production has incorporated Moveket technology to manage two LED rings, six lighting pods, a lifting system for the artist and various mobile stage elements.
The same philosophy has been present on the tour of Lewis Capaldiwhere automation has been used to visually transform the stage using motorized pantographs and moving stage elements.
The scale can grow even further. Projects like Holosphere 2.0 They have used more than a hundred Moveket hoists to coordinate the movement of video structures, lighting, and stage elements within the same production.
Shows no longer stay still. And when the stage starts moving, the technology behind it has to be on par with the design.
That's where Moveket makes a clear difference: security and automation. It's not just about moving more. It's about moving safely and with control, without leaving the operation to improvisation.
In Spain, Stonex is promoting Moveket so that the national touring industry can operate with the same high standards: motion control solutions designed for tours where lighting, video, set design, and rigging are no longer separate. Because the future of live entertainment is dynamic.
