Glastonbudget is Europe's largest festival for tribute bands and new acts. Dubbed 'the Mecca of tribute', the event is now in its sixth year and will see more than 6,000 fans gather to see 130+ bands. With six stages on site, production services company OneBigStar has ample opportunities to set out the Electro-Voice stall on behalf of Shuttlesound. With XLC providing a first-class rock 'n' roll PA for the main stage, there will be XLD and XLE on the two B stages, and Tour X and Phoenix systems used in the VIP marquee and other locales.
Everything kicks off on Friday 28 May, with VIP guests getting hands-on time with all the systems, a demonstration of the full power of the XLC on the main stage, and opportunity to discuss software and hardware with the Shuttlesound team. The bands start playing at 5pm. The bill on the tribute stage includes The Four Fighters, The Fillers, and a Britpop battle between Blurb and Oasish.
Says Shuttlesound MD Sean Maxwell, "we've always enjoyed a very positive response to our Big Day Out customer days, when we put the entire Electro-Voice product portfolio on demo. Working with Glastonbudget gives us the chance to go a stage further and show our bigger line-array systems in action, as well as a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a couple of fun days with our customers."
