Rod Stewart

April 22, 2026 Synergetic About Us

In March 2026, we were brought in to provide full audio, video, and lighting support for a one-off Rod Stewart show in Pennsylvania.

This performance was part of a short run of dates leading up to his summer tour—a chance for the band and production to get everything dialed in before hitting the road.

We’ve worked with this team before, and one thing never changes: the energy.

Rod Stewart still brings it. Every night. The kind of presence that reminds you exactly why he’s been doing this at the highest level for decades.

Our job was to make sure everything around that performance matched it.

We had the advantage of a full day to build prior to band arrival, which allowed us to complete the entire load-in ahead of time. So when the band walked in on Saturday, the full production was already in place—ready, tested, and dialed in.

That matters more than people realize.

When artists and crews can walk into a space that’s already prepared for them, it sets the tone for the entire day. It builds confidence. It creates momentum. And it allows everyone to focus on the performance—not the setup.

For this show, we deployed:

  • A D&B KSL audio system powered by D80 amplifiers
  • Three video wall surfaces (one upstage, two IMAG)
  • A full lighting rig, including both flown and ground-supported elements
  • A complete camera package to support IMAG and capture

Everything was designed to support a clean, powerful, and visually engaging show—without overcomplicating what didn’t need to be complicated.

One of the standout moments of the night was the Austrian drape reveal.

It’s a simple concept when executed correctly—but incredibly effective. As the show opened, the reveal created an immediate “wow” moment that set the tone for everything that followed. The kind of moment that grabs the audience right away and doesn’t let go.

It’s those details—the ones that feel effortless when done right—that make a show memorable.

We’re excited to see how the full tour comes together this summer. While we won’t be out on the road for this run, being part of the process—even for a single show—with an artist like Rod Stewart is something we don’t take lightly.

And definitely something we won’t forget.
