Bon Jovi: Because We Can

Long-time friend of Nimblist, Bon Jovi hit six continents delivering 102 shows and taking the band to both new and familiar locations worldwide. This iconic show featured 40 independently driven, hex-shaped columns rising up from the floor and descending from the grid creating an ever-changing configuration of video surfaces and scenic elements. The overall design moved around band members like a kinetic sculpture. No two songs were on the same set or shared the same light plot giving audiences an amazing experience and the high energy show Bon Jovi is known for.

We partnered with TAIT to execute a 30-meter inflatable 1959 Buick Electra which spanned the length of the main stage for the stadium shows. The massive car included a grill section housing 60 custom video frames and custom light poles for four impressions. Four scenic car headlight surrounds were also manufactured by TAIT to be situated beneath the Buick’s cohesive and unique design.

“Over the years we’ve used the same designer. Some of our stages, he’s hit home runs, and some others he’s hit singles. This one? I think he hit a grand slam. I think this is Spike Brant’s greatest hit. It’s beautiful. My hat is off to Spike Brant. He did a great job.” – Jon Bon Jovi

“I always wanted to distinguish [Nimblist] as a singular design environment, as opposed to a collection of designers working on one project. That element of design should be a singular thing.”

Nimblist President and co-founder Justin Collie believes in the collaboration of artists bringing the audience together for one genuine experience after another, pulling a complex array of components into a seamless display.

“We do care about the world, it’s not all about just making money for us.  I feel a huge urgency with our current economy and society and how it needs to change in ways that we understand.”

Infatuated with the bigger picture, our Nimblist CEO and co-founder Doug “Spike” Brant is always looking for ways to make an impact on our rapidly changing social climate through his art.

“Spike and I were living parallel lives, doing the same thing at the same time… I got braver as a designer with someone by my side.” 

Brought together on the “Hysteria” Tour in 1987, Nimblist co-founders Justin Collie and Doug “Spike” Brant both realized their shared eye for design through common inspiration, esteemed Lighting designer LeRoy Bennet. Understanding that they were attracted to the same elements of design and similar world views led to the partnership of a lifetime, debuting their first professional collaboration in 1999 on the Korn “Family Values” tour.
