SWG Events extended their long association with the Glastonbury Festival, again deploying Martin Audio systems in a number of feature areas.
According to Head of Audio, Simon Purse, they made significant changes to two stages: BBC Introducing and Woodsies, while also providing Martin Audio systems for The Park Stage and Leftfield.
BBC Introducing embraced Martin Audio for the first time, having traditionally had its sound delivered by another brand.
The move from its usual enclosed tent behind the Pyramid Stage to a more open, saddlespan structure required a fresh, upscaled approach to the PA, as it was able to attract a larger audience. “We were able to swap out the previous system for a ground-stacked [Martin Audio] WPS system — so it was quite a major upgrade. Having more PA meant we were able to deliver a superior sound,” said Purse.
Beneficiaries of this included Antony Szmierek, FIZZ, Jordan Mackampa, Paris Paloma, Pixey, Kingfishr and Maruja.
