The venue has been made into a more intimate affair for tonight’s performance by moving the stage far forward which allows Lenny Kravitz to maximise arena sound and stage size whilst maintaining the closeness to the audience; it is this combination that pays off particularly at the end of the show.

The room upstairs is fairly dark, the stage setting is in a corner placement with limited lighting facing […]
