A total of five main stages for live acts were dotted around Coachella - this year headlined by Roger Waters and Prince - with the aforementioned 'cool' area run by the Do Lab artist network. Ostensibly an art installation, it featured kind souls wielding hosepipes to help cool festival-goers off, as well as the latest dance beats and DJ sets playing in 'hexaphonic' sound day and night.
Audio provider Whump! Sound provided an all-Turbosound rig for the installation, with four Aspect TA-880 mid-highs and three TSW-718 subs per side of the DJ stage. Two Floodlights and two more TSW-718s covered each of the two mid points of the circle, while filling the rear were an Aspect Wide TA-500 full range cabinet and sub per side. Four Turbosound TSW-124 subs were additionally positioned in front of the DJ stage.
