JBL, Soundcraft, Crown and Martin Professional featured at Iceland’s Secret Solstice festival
REYKJAVÍK, Iceland – One of the fastest up-and-coming events on
the European festival circuit, Secret Solstice, turned to HARMAN Professional
Solutions to deliver a complete audio system and lighting solutions. ID
Electronic and event partner, Hljodx, provided the gear for the festival which
took place over the summer solstice weekend, allowing for 72 hours of
continuous daylight.
The 2016 festival was a banner
year with attendance numbers soaring to 17,000 after Radiohead signed on to
headline the event. The band’s rider requested the cutting edge JBL VTX V25-II
line array system, which ID Electronic and Hljodx were able to provide. One of
the mobile festival stages was equipped with JBL VTX V25 (seven elements per
side) as well as a Soundcraft Vi6, Vi1, for FOH and monitors, and JBL VRX915M
stage wedges. They also chose fixtures from HARMAN Professional Solution’s
lighting portfolio to outfit the main stage, second and third stages in
addition to the two tents.
“With a number of other events, 2016
was the biggest challenge for us so far,” said ID Electronic manager, Ingó
Arnarson. “Everyone was happy with the service we provided and the support of HARMAN
Tour Sound Application Engineer Ed Jackson took a lot of the strain off our
team.”
With headliners such as Foo
Fighters, The Prodigy and Richard Ashcroft, 2017 is on track to be the biggest
year in the festival’s history. The ID Electronic and Hljodx teams are already
gearing up for the 2017 festival in June with plans to expand the JBL VTX
presence to all of the major stages and adding more products from Soundcraft,
BSS, AKG, dbx, Crown and Martin.
