Vasco Live 2025 demanded grand visuals to match the scale of the tour, delivering an immersive and unforgettable concert experience. Together with Gate 1, zactrack helped create interactive frames that defined a vivid aesthetic, seamlessly blending design, music, and light into one single expressive language.
Vasco Rossi’s Vasco Live 2025 tour featured twelve stadium shows across Italy. Alongside an impressive stage design and grand lighting, real-time 3D visuals and effects played a central role in each performance. The 3D visual concept was developed by Pepsy Romanoff (Except) in collaboration with Chunk Studio Milano, as well as Davide Chiapperin, forming the foundation for the interactive content created by GATE 1 using Notch. All live graphics were driven by Notch, designed by Lorenzo Venturini of GATE 1, with precise positional data provided by zactrack PRO.
Gate 1 developed an interactive visual system which reacted in real time to the live performance on stage. “Our goal was to go beyond traditional “support visuals” and turn the LED screens into active elements of the scene, constantly interacting with the music, the lighting, and the artist himself”, says Lorenzo Venturini from Gate 1.
Focusing on Real-Time Interactive Visuals
Rather than relying on pre-rendered content, Lorenzo designed a series of digital frames integrated into the main LED walls that moved, changed colour, and reacted to the surrounding environment.
The interaction wasn’t limited to colour shifts: frames and graphic elements also reacted to movements of the artist, modulating intensity, speed, and camera perspective.
Interactive Concert Visuals thanks to Notch and zactrack
During the song Siamo qui, the word “SIAMO” became a dynamic part of the stage, with its colours shifting in real time based on hues captured from the live camera feed – turning green or blue depending on the lighting and Vasco’s movements on stage.
To enable this level of live interaction, Lorenzo used Notch, processing the concert’s video feed as a dynamic input for the graphics. Notch analysed the signal and generated immediate visual responses synchronised with the audio and stage performance, allowing the visuals to adapt instantly to changes in lighting, tempo, and camera perspective.
zactrack PRO providing positional data
Lorenzo integrated zactrack PRO to precisely track the artist’s movements across the stage, allowing visuals to respond in real time. Lorenzo explains: “This created a fluid scenography, breathing in sync with the music and amplifying the emotional power of the performance.”
The system fostered a continuous dialogue between Vasco’s presence as well as the lighting design by Giovanni Pinna – every step and gesture influencing the surrounding light and graphics, making the performance even more immersive and alive.
Together zactrack PRO was supplied by Lucidiscena (Pino Loconsole), with on-site support from Marco Di Febo of RM Multimedia.
The new core of live entertainment
This shows a clear trend: Immersive media is becoming an essential part of live entertainment, transforming shows into dynamic, living environments rather than fixed productions. Through the combination of zactrack and Notch, each concert becomes a unique visual experience, generated live and in the moment, and evolving night after night.
Fans who attend multiple dates on a tour experience something new every time, while artists benefit from a performance that remains fresh, expressive, and creatively engaging.
