LIBRARY PRODUCTIONS was asked to Production and Stage Manage Central Cee’s first European Tour and first live UK performance in 2022, following the artists meteoric rise over lock down. 

Following the success of the 2022 tour we were asked back to Production and Stage Manage his 2023 European tour and UK Festival run. 

The first European Tour in 2022 had been booked over lockdown and was rescheduled a number of times. As Central Cee’s profile grew, the sizes of several of the venues increased in capacity, while several venues remained a smaller capacity with several nights added into the run. 

We faced this challenge by producing an ABC rig, which toured Europe and could expand and contract to fit all venues on the run. This run culminated in the artist first live UK performance – a sell out show at the 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace London. 

During the planning for the Ali Pali show Amazon Music came on board to produce a live stream of the show. This presented us with a new set of unique challenges, which were met head-on to deliver both an epic live performance and equally epic live stream. 

This focus and desire to deliver a great show for Central Cee and his fans, was carried over into 2023’s European Tour and UK Festival run, where LIBRARY PRODUCTIONS was asked to source and provided a new design team and on the road production. The UK festival run included a main support slot on Glastonbury’s Other Stage (stage 2 at the festival) and main support slots on the Main Stage at Reading and Leeds.
