Apache 207
For Apache 207’s Arena Tour, the artist and his team at FEDER MUSIK envisioned transforming a full-scale vintage aircraft into a fully functional 360° stage. Together with Peter Roth-Lipkow and his team at Schoko Pro, the concept was translated into a fully executed arena production. ST. ROBO took on the Production and Lighting Design, guiding the project from initial planning through to final execution.
The platform offered multiple playing levels across the entire structure, including the wings, ensuring unobstructed sightlines for the whole audience. Resting on an LED floor, the plane was integrated into a kinetic lift system, which allowed controlled vertical movements and repositioning during the show while maintaining perfect visibility from every seat.
To complete the illusion, the lighting design seamlessly blended authentic aviation elements - such as navigation lights, illuminated windows, and turbines - with dynamic show fixtures. The experience was further extended into the crowd through audience wristbands, a subtle laser show highlighting the aircraft's silhouette, and a network of automated long-throw profile fixtures spanning the arena.
