Shooting Star Productions

Based in London & Somerset, England. Since 2002, we’ve toured the world producing shows for bands like Sigur Rós, Muse, Björk and Grace Jones.

Reviewing Grace’s June 2008 show at the Royal Festival Hall, the Independent noted ‘the production and attention to detail are breathtaking.’

In 2003, we directed Patti Smith’s artist residency at Charleston, funded by the Arts Council.

In 2011 we worked with The Faces, The Darkness, Leftfield and Placebo. We started the summer festival season doing technical management for The Park at Glastonbury Festival, and finished at Loud Park, Tokyo. In the Autumn, we produced The Darkness UK tour. We’re thrilled to announce our London office and collaboration with Cato Music.

Every Inch Of The UK Tour

Shooting Star is packing a spotted hankie on a stick and mounting the tour bus. For The Darkness are back on the road all over Britain and Ireland, a tour that’s fast selling out.

With their new album in the offing, these are exciting times in Camp Darkness.

PS Not to name drop, but it was terrific meeting the mighty Brian May at London’s 100 Club in October. What a gent — and a giant Darkness fan!

Give Me an Arkness!

Quick blog between a majestic Darkness show at Download Festival and Glastonbury, where we’re living in a hedge backstage at The Park. Such exciting secret guests! Then we’re hitting the ground running with The Faces rehearsals for their tour of UK, Germany and Japan. A legendary line-up indeed: Mick Hucknall, Ronnie Wood, Jesse Wood, Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Glen Matlock. We are not worthy!! Also, we’ve been to Turkey with Leftfield, and are looking forward to their sub-tastic shows in Ireland and UK over the summer…
