    What fixture is this?

    Hello. Got a birthday email from CB, first one of the day. Thanks for that.Anyways, I was watching Palladia this morning and saw some footage from the Oxegen 2011 festival and through all the sharpies and atomics, I saw a fixture I can not identify. I know that they used a ton of Robe gear...
