The Peiraios 260 complex has the potential of hosting up to eight indoor and two outdoor stages
Greece - The inaugural edition of the Athens & Epidaurus Summer Festival (ADD 2018) took place at a warehouse complex and united international acts such as Amelie Lens, Apparat and Red Axes, as well as 22 DJs spread across three stages. The event was hosted at a warehouse complex called Peiraios 260.
RM Audio, Martin Audio’s newly appointed Greek distributor, supported the event by providing a WPC sound system on the main stage, with auxiliary systems on stages two and three.
On the main stage, RM Audio supplied eight aside WPC elements, Martin Audio’s latest optimised line array, with iKON amplifier racks driving eight new SXH218 subwoofers, which provided thumping bass. The stage was also populated with two XE monitors with W8VDQ as side-fills.
Stage B featured eight aside W8LM with eight WSX218 subwoofers, while two Blackline X15 with two Blackline X118 subwoofers provided DJ monitoring, with two W8VDQ providing side-fills. Finally, Stage C featured W8C and WSX subwoofers.
On the heels of similar events that have been happening for years in major European cities, Athens finally has its own feast of contemporary electronic music and ADD looks on track to evolve into something huge. Possibilities are endless as the Peiraios 260 complex has the potential of hosting up to eight indoor and two outdoor stages - and more than 40,000 people.
