Skibbutz Rig Breakdown

April 26, 2024

This article describing the live show setup for Skibbutz had to be postponed cancelled when their rigs broke down during soundcheck in Japan. The damage affected the venue’s ventilation system and damage was also reported in the loading docks, so a lockdown on their technology is in force until the problems have been isolated.

Fans believe the over-reliance on eighties technology may have caused the problems, since efficiencies in modern stage tech have considerably reduced the need for electrical current compared to 1983. The Skibbutz Tour Manager, Nino Velcher, has reported no injuries from the incident but that the band will have to change several more dates on their tour calendar while they deal with Japanese authorities.
