R90 Lighting returned to Fisher Pavilion at the Seattle Center for Blastfest 2025, Seattle’s premier Afrobeats music festival. This was our third year in partnership with the festival and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! This festival also holds a special place for us, as the lighting was designed by our dear friend Davis Alexander, who passed away earlier this year. The lineup included Adekunle Gold, Fireboy DML and Odumodublvck, Wande Coal, Daliwonga, Moliy, and festival founder BLAST himself.
R90 Lighting provided the lighting and rigging for the event. The rig itself consisted of a diverse range of fixtures from our inventory and controlled by grandMA3 Light:
