But for this show, we ripped out the stage and did a 360º set that filled the whole stage area and audience floor. We have a rep plot for the space for normal shows that are on the 40 x 20-foot stage with an audience. “The set was built for us to look 360, surround in LED video walls. “For the main iHeartRadio Festival design, two of my goals was to give each artist a unique look and to give every camera angle a full background,” Ardine explained. He designed the base rig for the 2020 festival then worked with each individual artist’s team to create a look for the performer’s brand. The two-day mega-concert was live streamed on September 18 and 19 and viewable on The CW app it was broadcast September 27 and 28 on The CW and iHeartRadio stations nationwide.Īrdine has been one of the iHeartRadio Theater’s lighting designers for about six years. Lighting Designer, Matthew Ardine handled the LA portion of the show, which hosted Miley Cyrus, Migos, Alicia Keys, Swae Lee, Khalid and Usher at the iHeartRadio Theater – harnessing an array of Claypaky fixtures.

The iHeartRadio Music Festival marked its 10th anniversary in a virtual setting this year by recording its headline artists live, with no audiences, in Los Angeles and Nashville. The 2020 rendition of iHeartRadio Music Festival goes virtual with Claypaky fixtures lighting LA-based artists.
