How are lights in concerts and festivals synced so precisely to the music and the artist. My question regards both the mechanical lights and the human operated ones like spotlights.

Most if not all of the lights are pre-programmed in some way. The lighting designer just spends a lot of time before a show creating animations for all the lights in a way that matches up with each song. Sometimes it might be entire songs, sometimes it might be different lighting “cues,” that the operator can set off with a button, and sometimes the operator just finger drums on the light buttons.
Check out this guy’s YouTube channel, he does some pretty great videos showing what it takes to produce a light show for big shows: [https://www.youtube.com/@christianjackson/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@christianjackson/videos)
