The LMS stage will feature a similar system to the one that performed in Frankfurt in March - that is to say a Peavey Versarray line array system powered by Crest Pro 200 Series amplifiers with Peavey QW Series stage monitors also powered by Crest Audio Pro 200 Series amps. A Crest CV 20 console will handle FoH duties and a Crest HP-Eight has been selected to run monitors. System management and speaker processing will be handled by a MediaMatrix Nion n6 digital audio processor.
British singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner has already been confirmed as one of the headline acts to appear on the Peavey-run live stage, with more set to follow. Peavey Electronics' marketing manager, Andy Rust comments, "We had such an incredibly successful experience with the Agora Stage at Frankfurt in March that we jumped at the opportunity to be able to do the LMS stage this year. We've got the products and the know-how to put a really great-sounding professional system together, such as the one currently out on the festival tour with Jagermeister, for example. Occasions like this and the Agora Stage at Frankfurt where we can really target our audiences and customer base are simply not to be missed."
