Bandit Lites Powers Treaty Oak Revival's Rapid Rise with Lighting Designer Adam NunleyAs rock band Treaty Oak Revival continues its ascent from playing small clubs to selling out arenas of 17,000 fans, Bandit Lites supports the band's growth with a dynamic lighting system designed in collaboration with lighting designer Adam Nunley. In just a few short years, Treaty Oak Revival has evolved into one of the most talked-about acts on the road today, captivating audiences nationwide with high-energy performances and a rapidly expanding fanbase. To match that momentum, Nunley partnered with Bandit Lites to deliver a scalable, reliable lighting package capable of meeting the demands of increasingly larger venues. Nunley's design approach emphasizes both efficiency and impact, ensuring the rig delivers maximum coverage while remaining manageable for a lean crew. "We wanted something that was quick, easy and fast -- but could also get us coverage," he explains. "This gives us exactly the coverage we need. It's what me and Austin sat down and said, we can do this if it's just the two of us." "Being with a large company out of Nashville, centrally located -- they can get you gear really fast," says Nunley. "So even if you have something break, it's usually a 24 hour or a 48 hour turnaround." The result is a versatile system that has grown alongside the band, evolving from a modest setup into a full-scale arena-ready production. Lighting technician Austin Williams has witnessed that transformation firsthand. "It's just been a massive expansion from last year," says Williams. "We were just a ground package last year. And moving to our aerial rig plus ground floor package and all the lighting that we have going on now." Beyond the technical execution, Nunley credits the band's music as a driving force behind the show's success. "With this band one of the greatest things about being their LD is, I don't have to cover up crappy songs," he adds, "every song that's played in this setlist, every word will be screamed from 15,000 people at the top of their lungs." Production manager Nathaniel Herrera has worked closely with Bandit to make sure all of Treaty Oak Revival's needs are met. "We've been working so hard day and night, and I'm so excited," Herrera explains, before discussing the future of Treaty Oak Revival. "Me and my team have already started working on it -- 2027 is where it's at! It's going to be a whole new level of production." Some of the equipment Bandit provided to help bring Nunley's vision to life include ten FlexRax 4'; 12 Tyler Truss 10'; Tyler Ladder Towers; 51 Claypaky Sharpy X Frames; 26 Chauvet Rogue Outcast 1 BeamWash; 13 Elation Proteus Rayzor 760; five Elation KL CYC L; 42 Chauvet Strike Array 2; 35 GLP JDC Burst 1; grandMA3; Master FX Mystic Mini.
