Route 91 Harvest was a big show, but true to Las Vegas' larger-than-life philosophy, it was only one of four huge music fests held there within a single month's time. The iHeart Radio festival (21 September) saw pop stars Iggy Azalea, Neon Trees, 5 Seconds of Summer and Fences take the stage; on 27 September the first iteration of the Boulevard Brew Fest brought rockers Kings of Leon, Young the Giant and Kongos to town; and the Wine Amplified festival (10-11 October) was headlined by Train and Blink 182.
Las Vegas witnessed a truly diverse month, musically speaking, but what all of these festivals had in common was sound through an L-Acoustics K1/K2 system supplied by Solotech Las Vegas.
"We went from heavy rock to pop to hip-hop to country from one weekend to the next; it was very different genres of music, one right after the other," recalls Solotech's François Leroux. "We chose the L-Acoustics system because it was the best one to handle all of the different types of music and the needs of a wide range of FOH engineers."
