Lasers light up the stage at the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Soul 2 Soul tour; now they are the subject of a potential Guinness World Records title.

To celebrate its tenth anniversary, laser light show and laser system design specialist ER Productions (Dartford, Kent, England) will attempt a Guinness World Records title for the largest laser show at Live Design International (LDI) in Las Vegas at 7:30 pm on Saturday 18November on the LDI: Live outside stage.

ER Productions plans to use over 300 lasers as part of a 30-minute laser showcase that will culminate in a seven-minute finale to achieve the Guinness World Records largest laser show accolade. The title attempt will feature a live performance from British DJ, Damian Gee, who will soundtrack the event at LDI, North America’s largest trade show for the live entertainment technology and design industry.

Ryan Hagan, co-founder of ER Productions, said, "We opened our first US office in Las Vegas 3-years ago, 7-years after we started the company and the city has been very kind to us. For our 10^th birthday, we wanted to create a truly memorable laser show that people will be talking about in years to come."

Marc Webber, co-founder of ER Productions, said, "Live Design International 2017 provides the perfect framework for this unique event, and having our US headquarters close at hand means that we can hit the ground running when it comes to this extensive installation of laser power."
