Ayrton supports Fuerza Regida stadium tour

Lighting designer Alain Corthout of Showplus selected over 285 Ayrton fixtures as part of his lighting rig for música mexicana band Fuerza Regida’s current “This Is Our Dream” North American stadium tour 2026. Corthout brings more than thirty years of experience to the team: from starting his career in his native Belgium, he is also a veteran of working with Italian and Latin based artists such as Alejandro Fernandez and Miguel Bosé in both the USA and across South America.

“An all-stadium tour gives the designer a very broad canvas to work with”, he says. “The inspiration was to create a very dynamic visual show, with seven moving lighting pods and to play with the transparency of the screen, which is why we rigged a lot of fixtures behind the screens.” Corthout is very familiar with Ayrton lighting fixtures as he makes clear: “Since we were working with Rent All Pro USA, which is the USA division of Procolor Mexico, they have a lot of Ayrton fixtures, and I was very happy to implement as many as they had available.”

“To realise Fuerza Regida’s ‘Dream’ stadium tour concept, we selected 44 Domino LT fixtures to use as fillers and key lights; 63 Rivale Profiles rigged in the moving pods; 112 Veloce Profiles behind the screens and 66 Zonda 9 Wash fixtures above the screens”, he explains. “The fixtures provided strong, sculpted beams for architectural and aerial moments, rich, consistent colour for intimate storytelling, and versatile effects for dynamic song-driven moments - all of which supported the band’s cinematic, high-energy style while maintaining detail at distance.”

“Since Rent All Pro USA also had a few other tours out when we sent in our requests, I ended up with a mixture of different fixture types”, adds Corthout. “I usually tend to use the same types, but I was pleasantly surprised how well they performed together. These fixtures were perfect to create the bold looks we were looking for.”

The stadium tour’s Production Director is Fabian Herrera, the Lighting Programmer is Menga Cruz. Production Design is by Eleven Live and Showplus.
