A crowd of more than 10,000 party-minded folks gathered at the Stoppelmarkt in Vechta, Germany, for the premiere installment of the “Tante Mia tanzt” – “Aunt Mia’s Dance” – electro festival on May 5.
Staged for the first time by the local agency plus2event, the festival was supported by local audio provider Acoustic Sound which opted to deploy brand new RCF HDL50-A line arrays.
The line-up included top acts such as Echo award-winners Lost Frequencies, Belgium’s Headhunterz and the US collective The Chainsmokers performed on the main stage, which was tricked out to look like a supersized portable radio designed by Thomas Wernikowski and his team.
The crew equipped the main stage, dubbed “Aunt Mia’s Dance Garden” with two sets of 12 HDL50-A 3-way active line array loudspeakers and 18 SUB9007-AS dual 21-inch subwoofers in paired clusters. It was the first time this type of rig was rolled out in Germany. Touring & Theatre series TTP5-A point source enclosures served as in-fills, with front-fill support provided by stacked TTL33-A line arrays of the same series.
Flown double clusters of TTL6-A units, another brand new 3-way active line-source speaker, covered the floor in “Aunt Mia’s Vestibule”, otherwise known as the festival tent. TTL33-A line array modules were used as fills to augment the TTL6-A units. Six double stacks of TTS56-AS dual 21-inch subwoofers held up the low end.
DJs were treated to a monitor system consisting of TT25-SMA and TTP5-A point sources for the side PA.
