Robe returns to PLASA Show 2026

Robe is excited to be returning to PLASA Show 2026 at Olympia, London from 6th – 8th September 2026, where the team is looking forward to meeting a diversity of lighting and production professionals working across all industry sectors.

PLASA Show’s buzz and vibes are a perfect setting for Robe to reveal five brand new inventive moving light and LED products, and to showcase its other latest technologies – on Stand A70 – alongside its partner businesses, Avolites, Anolis, LSC Control Systems and Artistic Licence.

Robe products launched at PLASA Show 2026 are the Arianne 4 and Arianne 12 which expand the Arianne multisource LED IP65 series of fixtures following the launch of Arianne 2 and Arianne 6 earlier this year, making a complete family. Features include the 55W RGB Lime LED multichip source that seriously makes the colours pop, keeping everyone fully in the limelight!

Also launched is the LEDBeam 400, the iT10 Profile and the mySVOPATT – a new version of the unique SVOPATT luminaire – now with pan and tilt.

Also new

Robe’s new multifunctional laser source GigaPointe makes its first appearance at PLASA Show having had a great run of summer festivals all across Europe – and other product news for PLASA Show is that Robe has implemented its AERIS^TM patented technology to the entire LT series of luminaires.

Originally this started with the iPAINTE LTM which is a PLASA Innovation Award entry this year.

AERIS™ (Airborne Emission Removal In-head System) technology instantly filters and scrubs air in the moving light head compartment, preventing airborne residues (like oil and other volatile organic compounds) from settling on optical elements such as lenses, prisms, gobos, and dichroic filters. AERIS™ keeps the surfaces pristine extending service intervals and significantly reducing service and maintenance costs.

Beyond Reflection

A new Robe live show concept will be launched at PLASA Show 2026 titled, “A World Beyond Reflection – Where Light Reveals All”

A typically high-energy show narrative is framed in a hyper-stylized, high-tech anime world, where AI has taken control of everything that people see and hear, stifling emotions and preventing human imagination and creativity from functioning.

The audience will take a journey across a wide spectrum of musical genres, powered live by an incendiary 10-piece drum and brass band.

Playing rogue robotic musicians, the performers stumble onto the stage and activate an energy surge that rips through their instruments allowing them to manipulate the surrounding lighting. The burning question is can they arrest control from the bots … and forge a new path towards true human-based creativity?

The show will feature around 200 Robe lighting fixtures including all the launched products plus GigaPointes, Arianne 2 and Arianne 6s, Tetra2’s, iFORTE LTX’s, iESPRITE LTMs, PAINTE LTLs, iBOLTS, WTF!s and Footsies.

Each batch of different Robe products are integrated into the show to illustrate their capabilities in situ in a real-world show environment which will be relatable to PLASA Show visitors from all disciplines.

Lighting is programmed and controlled on an Avolites D9-215, a D7-215, utilizing two TITAN net Processors with media running on an Avo Q3 Pro Ai Server running the latest version of Prism.

The first show will be at 11 a.m. and it will play four times a day every two hours for the first two days, finishing on Tuesday with the 3 p.m. performance. It will be interspersed with informative ‘Voice-of-God’ product presentations

The stand will contain several demonstration areas where people can get more in-depth with all the products and chat to the Robe team.

On the left of Robe’s main stage is the Avolites booth, and to the right is Anolis, Artistic License and LSC.

Avolites

Lighting and visual control manufacturer Avolites highlights its complete console line-up at PLASA Show on Stand C28!

The culmination of the company’s Avo50 50^th year anniversary celebrations will be happening on the stand at 2.30 p.m. on Monday 7^th September, when the whole world will discover who wins a very special Golden Console to mark this landmark achievement.

After eight months of tantalising clues, intense leaderboard watching, and fierce competition, the Avo50 competition ends with one of the top 50 entrants being picked out of a hat and taking home the totally unique Golden Console.

There will be a huge toast to the winner and everyone who took part.

On the product front, from Avolites compact, portable ‘Travel Collection’ through to the flagship D9, the exhibition will offer visitors hands-on access to the full range in one place. Whether running a small touring rig or programming visuals for the biggest stages, there’s a console on the stand built for the task.

Avolites will be running the first Prism – media control platform and software – training sessions since the product’s launch, alongside free Titan training throughout the show, so people can see the software in action and talk directly to the Avo team about its optimisation for shows. Visitors can also see how Prism integrates with the full console range, getting a clear picture of how lighting and visual media can work simultaneously and harmoniously together as one system.

The R&D and product teams will be on hand throughout PLASA Show to answer questions, take feedback, and talk through what’s coming next from Avolites.

Anolis

Anolis will showcase a selection of architectural LED luminaires designed to bring precision, flexibility and durability to a wide range of applications.

The team will also demonstrate the latest cueLumen developments, including the first outing for Composer – a free configuration utility designed to make system deployment faster and more efficient for installers and integrators.

Product Application Specialist Tim Smith will present “Getting Started with Sig-Net” on Monday 7^th September at 10.30am in the Lighting & Staging Theatre, introducing the next-generation lighting control protocol and its relevance to emerging cybersecurity requirements.
