Winch XL From KINETIC LIGHTS: The Heavy Lifter Behind Iconic Stage Moments

KINETIC LIGHTS is proud to support the long-awaited Radiohead 2025 Europe Tour as a technical supplier, bringing dynamic motion and light to one of the most iconic bands of our time.


Designed by Creative Director Sean Evans and Lighting Designer Pryderi Baskerville, the tour features a striking 360-degree stage concept, with 136 moving lights performing intricate 12-meter vertical flight animations both inside and outside the circular video and performance environment.

To make this vision possible, 60 Winch XL systems from KINETIC LIGHTS are deployed across the stage, each equipped with either single or clustered moving lights. The system is enhanced by our latest innovation: KL Gyro motion stabilizers, ensuring smooth, precise movement across the full vertical range. All kinetic elements are controlled in real time using KLC Software and grandMA, seamlessly integrating with the rhythm and emotion of each performance. With thanks to our partners at Wonder Works, we’re honored to help transform this legendary reunion into a captivating, motion-driven experience of light and sound.
