Andrea Bocelli returned to the stage in 2025 for a highly anticipated tour, performing across the U.S. with a production designed to match the emotion and elegance of his music. OSA International, Inc. is providing lighting, rigging, audio and video technology to support Bocelli’s performances, which span classical and popular music and are taking place in cities including Knoxville, Tampa, Austin and Denver.
For the tour’s LED video displays, OSA International selected AbsenLive’s Saturn Series P2.6 LED (SA2.6) panels.
As the tour extends into new markets, OSA International’s expert crew and cutting-edge equipment ensure each venue is transformed into a world-class space tailored to Bocelli’s unique vision. For the tour’s video displays, OSA International selected AbsenLive’s Saturn Series P2.6 LED (SA2.6) panels. “It’s a great product from a great company, and we have a strong partnership with Absen,” said Bobby Allen, executive vice president of entertainment for OSA International. “Like most of our shows, we rely heavily on close-up camera shots of the artist using. It’s only fair for the audience to see what everyone else sees.”
The SA2.6 panels were chosen for their image quality and flexibility in live concert touring and corporate event environments. Its reliable performance and adaptability support OSA International’s goal of maintaining a high production standard across multiple tour stops.
“We like the new Absen Saturn Series because it offers excellent color performance,” explained Mark McIntosh, LED engineer for Andrea Bocelli. “For this project, we’re using Brompton processing with the Saturn panels, which gives us a high level of control over color. It allows us to fine-tune and match what the cameras capture with what the audience sees, ensuring consistency throughout the system.”
McIntosh added, “We’ve enjoyed having the 2.6mm on tour. It’s the highest-resolution product we’ve ever toured with. It completely transforms the visual experience for the audience. The content on the walls looks more like a high-quality photograph than something displayed on an LED wall.”
The AbsenLive Saturn (SA) Series is built to meet the fast-paced demands of live events, delivering exceptional visual performance and effortless setup. With brightness up to 1500 nits, 16-bit grayscale and a smooth 7680Hz refresh rate, it ensures stunning, vibrant visuals that captivate audiences in any lighting condition. In addition to performance quality, the Saturn Series offers key logistical benefits.
“One of the key advantages of the Saturn product on this particular tour is that it’s stackable,” said Rob Seager, video crew chief for OSA International. “Being able to stack the panels in the truck gives us significantly more space, allowing us to transport a much larger quantity of gear. With seven different LED walls on this tour, not including spares, the ability to stack the carts is a major advantage for us.”
Each 500x1000mm panel weighs 20.94 lbs. The Saturn Series supports curved and flat configurations, along with multiple mounting options including hanging, stacking or use of dedicated bars. With a fast-locking system and magnetic module design, the panels allow for easy alignment and fast setup in touring environments.
Designed for maximum versatility, the SA Series supports flat and curved (-2.5° to +2.5) configurations, making it a perfect fit for concerts, festivals, corporate events, and immersive brand activations. Its modular design allows panels of different sizes to be combined for creative, custom display setups. The SA Series supports multiple mounting options, including hanging up to 32.8 feet, stacking up to 16.4 feet or using 1.6-foot and 3.3-foot hanging bars and stacking systems, making it adaptable to any event environment.
Bocelli’s voice and performance are matched with visuals powered by AbsenLive’s Saturn Series. Together with OSA International, the production delivers a concert experience that connects with audiences visually and emotionally.
