Ending their 2013 ‘El Objeto’ tour in style, well-known alternative rock Mexican band Café Tacuba played their last show of the year at the Palacio de los Deportes arena in Mexico City … for first time using 14 brand new Robe ROBIN Pointes, recently purchased by local rental company, Meridian Pro S.A de C.V.
The Pointes were located right behind the band forming a line upstage.
The band’s Producer Sergio Serrano - who also has his own lighting and video company, LED Project, in the same city - commented that they are always looking out for the newest products that will keep the company at the forefront of the latest technologies.
“I saw the Pointe and proposed we used these for the last show to the band’s German LD “Tiffy” Castellanos, who agreed and also really likes them. It’s a fixture far better than others available on the market … and that’s what we always look for – something that is different as well as the best. We’re already thinking of using Pointes for our next tour which is scheduled to begin in June,” he said.
In fact, Sergio is a Production Manager for several music groups and he and his company provide lighting design and equipment for numerous artists.
“I always go to USA to purchase fixtures, but the people at Vari Internacional, (Robe’s Mexican distributor) have treated me so well that I’m thinking about buying in Mexico for the first time! I’m very happy and I hope I’ll be able to use the Pointes at some major events”, he added.
Café Tacuba’s 2013 tour visited most Latin American countries including Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile among others … as well as USA and Spain.

Over 500 Robe moving lights were supplied by three top German rental and technical production companies to four main stages at the 2024 Lollapalooza Berlin festival, organised by Live Nation and staged over two days at the Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium), proving once again that Robe is a powerful, reliable and weatherproof choice for outdoor events needing quality production lighting.
Lighting for Adele’s record-breaking Adele in Munich residency, staged in a purpose-built outdoor stadium designed by production designer Florian Wieder at the Munich Messe, was designed by Cory FitzGerald from US-based creative design studio Silent House.
Grammy Award-winning artist Gary Clark Jr is touring the world with his new album JPEG Raw, complete with a lighting scheme designed by John Adamo and Robert Fuller.
Legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Sammy Hagar was on the road for 2 months over the summer with his “Best of All Worlds” tour that played across the USA with a brilliant lineup including another guitar icon, Joe Satriani, and a spectacular lighting design created by Jamie Fadden featuring Robe moving lights prominently on the rig.
