Touring & Live Event Flight Cases

Our touring range is specifically developed to survive the relentless cycle of the road. We combine the classic structural rigidity of traditional birch-ply flight cases with the agile, weight-saving benefits of our advanced Lite Guard™ technology. From the Pyramid Stage to corporate arenas, Nomad is the silent partner behind the world’s most demanding productions.

Built for the Road Touring is relentless on equipment. Nightly truck loads, the climate swings between a freezing load-in and a sweltering stage, repeated handling by different crews at every venue, and international freight across the festival circuit — it all adds up fast. Most cases aren't built for that pace. Ours are, with construction engineered to take venue-to-venue punishment night after night, so your gear is stage-ready at every stop, from the first show to the last.

What We Build for Touring & Production

• Road trunks — large-format, heavy-duty trunks for full touring inventories
• Rack cases — rack-mounted protection for audio, comms, and control equipment
• Wardrobe & costume cases — hanging and folded storage for touring wardrobe
• Screen cases — secure transit for LED panels, monitors, and displays
• Mixer & sound desk cases — tailored protection for mixing consoles and control surfaces
• Lighting trunks — durable cases for lighting rigs, including moving head cases
• Microphone cases — foam-fitted protection for mics and wireless systems
• Instrument cases — custom-fitted cases for guitars, brass, strings, and more

Custom Inserts and Layouts The inside of the case is where touring crews feel the difference. We design bespoke internal architecture around how your gear is actually used on the road — multi-tray layouts for fast access, multi-bay divisions that keep kit organised venue-to-venue, and integrated cable management so leads aren't a tangle at every load-in. CNC-routed foam, fitted dividers, and custom trays all built around your equipment, so packing down is as quick and secure as setting up.

For Theatre, Broadcast & Festival Production From West End theatre runs to live broadcast and the festival circuit, we build flight cases for every corner of live production. A broadcast flight case protecting outside-broadcast kit, a theatre flight case touring a stage production, a festival flight case taking on a muddy field — whatever the setting, the build standard stays the same.

Departmental Logistics: A Complete Touring Ecosystem

A successful tour relies on "Organised Efficiency." We have categorised our collection to reflect the departmental structure of a professional crew, ensuring every piece of kit has a dedicated, high-protection home.

Audio, Backline & Rack Solutions

The sonic heart of your show deserves more than a standard trunk. Our audio collection features precision-cut CNC foam for microphones and instruments, alongside professional Shock-Mount Rack Cases. These are designed to isolate sensitive processing units and amplifiers from the vibrations of sea-freight and heavy haulage.

Lighting & Vision Architecture

Lighting fixtures are high-value, high-fragility assets. Our lighting trunks are built with "Truck-Pack" dimensions in mind, allowing for a modular fit in standard trailers.

• Moving Head Trunks: Custom-contoured foam to prevent internal movement.

• LED Tile Crates: Lightweight Lite Guard™ shells that reduce your overall "dead weight" on the fly-line.

Video & Broadcast Fly-Packs

With the rise of "Virtual Production" and live-streaming, broadcast gear is now a touring staple. We provide bespoke fly-packs for vision mixers, monitors, and 4K camera arrays. These cases are engineered to maintain equipment calibration, ensuring your gear is "Show Ready" the moment the lid is popped.

Rigging, Motors & Stage Hardware

This is where brute strength meets engineering. Our rigging trunks are built to handle immense payloads—from chain hoists and motors to heavy-duty trussing. Reinforced with galvanised steel hardware and heavy-duty 100mm casters, these cases are the workhorses of the "Stage Left" environment.

Production Office & Backstage Wardrobe

The logistics of the tour extend beyond the stage. We manufacture mobile production offices, wardrobe trunks with integrated hanging rails, and catering cases. These units provide a consistent, "bulletproof" workspace for tour managers and wardrobe departments, regardless of the venue.

Why The Industry Chooses Nomad

• Truck-Ready Dimensions: All touring cases are designed to "grid" perfectly into 2.4m wide trailers, eliminating wasted space and movement.

• Lite Guard™ Technology: Our HDPE solid-wall cases offer a 40-60% weight saving over timber, drastically reducing air-freight costs for international legs.

• Leicestershire Craftsmanship: Every case is hand-assembled in our UK facility, backed by over 60 years of manufacturing heritage.

• Custom Branding: High-visibility colour-coding and CNC-engraved branding come as standard, ensuring your fleet is instantly recognisable in a crowded cargo hold.
