Kate Rusby 'Springshine' Tour 2026

It’s always a special feeling heading back out on the road with Kate Rusby. We’ve worked on Kate’s wonderful tours for many years now, and every production feels just as warm, uplifting and genuinely loved by audiences as the last. Concert halls across the UK become filled with beautifully detailed music, and it’s a privilege for Isophase Audio to help shape the sound behind it all once again for the Spring Tour 2026.

This year’s touring audio setup combines compact efficiency with incredibly high-end performance. At front of house, the Allen & Heath dLive S1500 console is the perfect fit for this style of tour, compact enough for theatre and concert hall workflows, while still delivering the powerful processing, flexibility and reliability needed for detailed live mixes night after night. Paired with the dLive DM48 MixRack acting as the core processing engine and main I/O stage box, the system provides huge capability in an efficient touring footprint.

We’re also incredibly excited to be touring with the brand new Sennheiser Spectera wireless in-ear monitoring system. Spectera represents a huge step forward in professional RF and wireless audio technology, combining wireless audio and IEM functionality into a more streamlined and spectrum-efficient system. For touring productions like Kate Rusby’s — where consistency, clarity and reliability are absolutely essential — it’s an ideal solution that helps keep the stage setup clean, flexible and dependable throughout the tour.

The tour is also carrying an Outline Audio point source PA system, perfectly suited to the intimacy and detail of concert hall environments. Point source systems work beautifully in these spaces because they provide natural, controlled coverage with exceptional vocal clarity and warmth, allowing every instrument and lyric to feel connected to the audience. It’s exactly the kind of sound reinforcement approach that complements the emotion and musicianship at the heart of Kate’s live performances.

There’s something incredibly special about productions like this — carefully crafted shows, beautiful venues and audiences who truly listen. We genuinely love being part of these tours and helping bring these performances to life night after night.
