The Inhale / Exhale World Tour 2025 was defined by seamless integration where structure, light, and technology moved as one. VOLT worked closely to integrate with Upstaging Fabrication, merging industrial, towering stage architecture with a deeply integrated lighting system. From early prep in Chicago and Burbank to full-scale rehearsals in Texas, the production came together through precise coordination, adaptability, and a shared commitment to excellence. A team is only as strong as its leadership, and this tour benefited from one of the best in the industry. Under the guidance of Joel Stanley, the production ran with clarity, trust, and momentum.
We set the tone for every department to perform at its highest level. Creative Director Katzki designed a bold structural environment that delivered both depth and power, providing a dynamic canvas for the show’s visual language. Lighting Designer Matt Smith masterfully tied all elements together, allowing each component (structure, light, and content) to have its moment while contributing to a cohesive, emotional whole. On tour, the GLP JDC2 strobes emerged as a defining visual element, running NDI video directly through the fixtures.
As firmware updates expanded capability throughout the development process, the VOLT team adjusted in real time pushing the system further night after night. The tour reached its apex at the Rose Bowl, where six GLP Mad Max fixtures debuted in a grand finale.
It sent massive columns of light into the sky and delivering an unforgettable culmination of precision, innovation, and awe.
