N.E.R.D. in Australia during May in both Melbourne, at the Forum Theatre, and at Sydney's Enmore Theatre. The duo of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo performing with rapper Sheldon 'Shay' make up the members of N.E.R.D.

Williams and Hugo have produced for Justin Timberlake, Nelly, No Doubt and Britney Spears.

Their Australian tour, lit by Phaseshift Productions featured High End Systems ColorCommand for dynamic, saturated stage washes, and Griven Kaliedo 575 fixtures lighting the cyclorama, both providing a strong contrast, and building the overall look which included the the usual array of moving yokes.

All the lighting was controlled from an Avolites Sapphire 2000, which ideally suited the tour, allowing for instantaneous control of the entire rig.



Lighting Designer/Operator was Simon Aitkin, with Jeremy Nolan as System Technician
