Chile - Robbie Williams kicked off his Close Encounters world tour in April in South Africa, recently landing in South-America in Chile's capital city of Santiago. 77,000 people packed themselves at the Estadio National, to listen to his latest offerings, including the Spanish language version of his early hit Angels, bringing his total 'Close Encounters' tour attendance numbers to a whopping three million.

Cristian Olavarria Ltd is an Adamson Y-Axis partner, and a well respected rental company that supplies sound production for the majority of international acts, including Pearl Jam, Avril Lavigne, Black Eyed Peas and Coldplay, when making their stop in Chile. Williams usually tours with Britannia Row's inventory when possible, with FOH engineer Tony Szabo and system tech Sherif El Barbari ensuring a top-notch sound.

Olavarria Ltd, which owns a large inventory of Adamson's Yaxis Line Y18 and Y10 True Line Source Arrays, tapped into his Adamson inventory and provided two powerful 16 box Y18 hangs for the show's main arrays to cover the National stadium. The size of the venue called for delays and a side PA, for which Olavarria utilized some of their smaller JBL VerTecs. Meyer Sound's MSL-2 s and EAW subs took care of the front-fills and bass, respectively.
