Puzzle Touring

Fitting end to an incredible US tour for @badomensofficial . Load out captured from @oaklandarena Thanks to the band for having myself & @_jackson_warner as Stage Managers. It was a pleasure! Now to go home for some well deserved sleep… 💤 #badomens #timelapse #roadies #stagemanager

#timelapse of @badomensofficial show build at the @lenovocenter Raleigh. This show is 11 Trucks of production, 100+ touring crew and 100+ local crew. We have it up in 6 hours and out in under 2 hours. It’s been a pleasure Stage Managing this awesome band for the last month. 6 more shows then 🏠. Big shout to my brother @_jackson_warner for bringing me onboard. Absolute dream team! #badomens #stagemanager #roadies

2025 was good to me and I’m very thankful. Thankful to my amazing wife and family for their support while I kept adding more tours to the diary. Thankful to every colleague I’ve worked with this year. From my OG’s to my new friends. You make being away from my family infinitely more tolerable. Thankful to the bands I love that understood when I said I needed to go work on a mammoth pop show. I’ll hopefully be back with you soon. Thankful to everyone who helped me make some pretty tough decisions and supported my growth. Love you. 👊 This year I had to take a temporary step away from drumming to further my career in Stage Management. Whilst this makes me sad it’s the best way I can provide for my family and afford the K-Pop Demon Hunters merchandise my daughter is so obsessed with. It’s only short term and I’ll be back on stage soon I’m sure. But for now I’m behind the scenes with 2 radios and a load out plan! I did however I get to close out the year playing at the annual Joe Carnall Xmas bash. Even more special with Charlotte on bass and 2 of my best pals on guitars. So yeah, BIG year professionally whilst at home my two little rockers continue to astound me with every inch that they grow. 🥰 2026 is already shaping up to be a busy one, I’m getting my snowboard holidays in before I get dragged back out on the road. Starting with another 🇺🇸 run in February/March. Big love everyone, hope you’ve had a lovely festive period with your families… See you in 2026. 🍾🎆 @puzzletouring

Puzzle Touring x Dua Lipa Excited to share this time lapse from Wembley Stadium with @dualipa . I rigged the camera on the evening before we loaded in and left it filming until after load out 4 days later. I was asked to join the Stage Management team back in March. Now 6 months later the Radical Optimism Euro/UK tour is complete and we’re nearly half way through the North American leg. Over 200+ Touring Crew, 30 Trucks for the Stadia (26 in the Arenas) and nearly 150 local crew. The show is spectacular and the team are absolute top tier. Lovely humans at the top of their game. It’s an honour to work alongside them. As for the boss, she’s the best! Thanks for having me… #dualipa @dualipa Management - @dukagjinlipa fiagold

Second reel on the Puzzle Touring grid is a show build from The @girlsaloud tour in Liverpool earlier this year. We tipped 3 set trucks in the room so the rolling stage could be built whilst the points were hung and the trusses flown. Pleasure to Stage Manage this one… @nadinecoyle @cherylofficial @lilcola @kimberleywalshofficial were incredible every night. My team of @kbeventltd drivers were excellent. Huge thanks to Pete and his team. Crew were awesome… We only put the show in/out 13 times despite playing 30 shows. Gotta love a walkaway! #girlsaloud #thegirlsaloudshow #stagemanager #stagemanagement #puzzletouring
