Broadcast by ORF, Austria’s public broadcaster, from the Vienna Stadthalle on 12th, 14th and 16th May 2026, the world’s largest televised live music event, the Eurovision Song Contest, celebrated its 70th anniversary in front of an arena audience of 11,000 and global television audience of millions.

Ayrton is very excited to announce the release of Nando 1202, a bold, powerful and extraordinarily versatile hybrid addition to the Nando family.

It was the job of lighting designers Angus Cha and Eloise Davis to convey the different parts of the forest and changes in mood with lighting. To achieve this, the duo used Ayrton Rivale Profiles as their moving lights on the recommendation of Ayrton’s Briony Berning.

Ayrton is excited to announce the official launch of MagicBlade Neo, an infinitely modular linear fixture with a mastery of light, and the latest innovation in its Creative Series.

Award-winning lighting designer, Howard Harrison, has chosen Ayrton Rivale Profiles as his only moving lights – amounting to 95% of the entire rig – for the West End transfer of Shadowlands which has just opened in London’s Aldwych Theatre.

Lighting Designer Dan Norman of Silent House used 72 Ayrton Veloce Profiles designed for large spaces and 76 Domino LT luminaires created for long-throw applications requiring high precision on Shakira’s “Las Mujeres Ya No Llloran World Tour.”

Ashridge House Illuminated is Hertfordshire’s biggest light trail, and for the second year running, B Corp production company SLX was in charge of bringing the magic to life. We spoke to project designer and curator Alex Keighley about putting the display together, and how Ayrton fixtures helped him achieve his vision.
