The European Tours 2023

The European Tours 2023

For the first time ever, Showforce partnered with its sister company THE Production TEAM to produce three major European tours, providing experienced crew and technical expertise to the tours’ organising teams.

Showforce and THE Production TEAM worked side by side across three live shows – SpongeBob SquarePants, Zombie Inferno and Devil Exorcist.

Over a three-month period, Showforce and THE Production Team travelled across Europe. The tours visited 30 arenas and venues in Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium and Germany, including popular cities such as Frankfurt and Munich.

Showforce and THE Production TEAM supplied four stage crew, one crew chief and four AV technicians (camera operations, sound, engineer, light and AV tech) and to ensure consistency the same team worked across all three productions.

THE Production TEAM sourced all technicians whilst Showforce was responsible for finding skilled crew for the tours, which consisted of a one-day build, two live show days, and a safe, fast, and efficient de-rig.

Since the completion of the project, two assistant stage managers, sourced by THE Production TEAM have gone on to take up full time placements with the client. In addition, a further contract for two more tours with the same company has just been signed, with the first due to begin in February.
