Attracting over 20,000 rock fans, Copenhagen Live - which took place on 2 June - was held in the Kastrupstrand Park area of Copenhagen. Top of the bill were Rammstein, Bullet For My Valentine, Skunk Anansie, former G'n'R and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash and Danish hard rockers Volbeat.
Later that same month, Music & Lights again deployed a trio of LM 26 processors for the main stage at the Sweden Rock Festival in Solvesborg, where Guns 'n' Roses, Aerosmith, Gary Moore, Slayer and Danzig were among the headline acts playing in front of the 35,000 strong crowd.
This was the first opportunity Music & Lights had to put the LM 26 processor through its paces, incorporating it with their new L'Acoustics K1 line-array system and providing the Lake Processing technology via the Windows-based Lake Controller software. The LM 26 is the successor to the Dolby Lake Processor (DLP) with extensive digital matrix functions including Dante digital networking, which provides seamless compatibility with Lab.gruppen's Dante-enabled PLM Series as well as legacy DLPs.
Following successful implementation at both of these festivals, Music & Lights went on to use their newly acquired LM 26 units at several other gigs in and around Gothenburg including West Coast Riot, Metaltown and Pier Pressure, with more planned over the remainder of the summer.
