LED Screen Tour Stromae: XENON Powers the “Racine Carrée” Tour
Paul Van Haver, known as Stromae, has become a major figure on the international music scene with his unique style blending electronic music, hip-hop, and socially conscious lyrics. After the resounding success of his track Alors on Danse in 2009, his second album Racine Carrée, released in 2013, confirmed his status as an essential artist: more than 2 million copies sold in France, and nearly 600,000 internationally.
For his world tour, Stromae wanted a stage design as ambitious as his artistic universe. He chose Artixium to design the main LED screen for his show, relying on our reference solution at the time: the XENON P6 (a range since succeeded by Ayrgon 2 and Beryl).
Developed for the events sector, the XENON P6 was the flagship product of our touring range. Lightweight (12 kg), robust and easy to handle, it allowed for quick installation, simplified maintenance and excellent performance under intensive conditions. Its compact design made it perfectly suited to the logistical constraints of an international tour.
XENON P6 Serving the Creative Vision
The technological choice of XENON P6 allowed Stromae’s creative team to develop visual content that was powerful, dynamic and perfectly synchronized with the artist’s performances, contributing to the artistic and commercial success of this memorable tour.
All About the Racine Carrée Tour
The LED Screen Tour Stromae Set-Up in Detail
The LED screen tour Stromae project centred on one key element: the main LED screen of the “Racine Carrée” show, a 50 m² display designed to carry the stage visuals of a tour played across Europe and beyond.
A screen at the heart of the stage design. Stromae wanted a scenography as ambitious as his artistic universe. The LED screen became the backdrop for powerful, dynamic content synchronised with each song and with the artist’s performance.
A cabinet built for touring. The XENON P6, then the flagship of Artixium’s touring range, weighed only 12 kg. It could be installed quickly before every show, maintained easily and transported from city to city.
Reliability under intensive use. A world tour means repeated set-ups, dismantling and transport. The robustness of the XENON P6 kept the screen performing night after night.
Why Choose an LED Screen for a Concert Tour?
On tour, the LED screen is part of the show. It extends the artist’s universe with visuals, close-ups and effects that change with every song, and it gives the audience in large arenas a clear view of what happens on stage.
Touring also puts the equipment to the test. Cabinets must be light, quick to assemble and dismantle, easy to maintain and robust enough to be loaded into trucks after every show, while delivering a consistent image from one venue to the next, as on every date of the LED screen tour Stromae.
The XENON range has since been succeeded by Ayrgon 2 and Beryl, Artixium’s current rental LED displays for concerts and touring productions. Discover our event LED displays, contact our team to prepare your next tour, or learn more about the artist on the official Stromae website.
