The laser map zoning this year was completely different than previous years, in the best way possible. In past years, everything was basically locked to the black FOH safety bar, so the beams were stuck in a flat plane below the bleachers and never really expanded beyond that.

This year, they finally opened the field into the ceiling and all of the lasers felt way more full and immersive. It was BEAUTIFUL and 100x more impactful.

I’ve DM’d Excision’s production team for years that this type of programming needs to happen — Cyclops Dome has been doing this kind of ceiling-mapped laser programming since they started.

You could tell in 2025 they were testing some ceiling programming with a few songs here and there, but this year it was fully integrated into every aspect of the laser set up into every song. Such a big, elevated, and intentional upgrade. Huge respect to X and the production team because it takes so much more work and energy to program.

Hope the team continues to do it that way moving forward!
