Liteup Delivers a 360 Solution for the First Ever GLADIATORS Live Tour!
Throughout October, November and December 2025, Liteup were delighted to provide a full 360 solution to the first ever Gladiators Live Tour.
Liteup’s Operations Director, Dan Bunn, was approached by Live Nation Promoter Sean Ryman, to Production Manage the first ever Gladiators Live tour. Working closely with the team at Live Nation, Liteup provided a full touring Lighting, Audio, Video, Rigging and SFX package to furnish the sold out 24 date tour around arena’s in the UK. Juggling the logistics of 18 trucks, upwards of 100 crew, and over 600 lights was no easy task, but thanks to an incredibly skilled and hard working touring team, nothing was unachievable. With two shows a day across the resident weekends, capacity crowds were able to enjoy the Gladiators they have come to know and love across the well-loved TV show.
Following an incredible tour, Live Nation shared their feedback:
“Working with Dan and the wider Liteup team on this incredible first tour was a fantastic experience. Within the team there is such a wealth of knowledge and professionalism, and it’s been a pleasure to further our working relationship with them. The tour exceeded everyone’s expectations, and that’s down to genuine team work, and phenomenal support” – Steve Packer, Senior Operations Director & Tour Manager, Live Nation UK
