One of the biggest US music gatherings, the Broccoli City Festival was an impressive debut for the new Audi Field venue. This year’s two-day festival was headlined by Megan Thee Stallion and Gunna, with special guest Offset. The star-studded gathering celebrated music, culture, and unity for crowds of 40,000+ attendees over two days.
Showtime Sound continued their reliance on trusted partners at L-Acoustics, Absen Inc., Tyler Truss Systems, LLC, and Sommer Cable to ensure a smooth and flawless event. Marc Chauvin (SSM, MSPM, CTS), Showtime’s Director of Technical Operations explained the choice of cabling, “In planning transmission systems for audio, lighting, and video distribution we know that reliability and quality is a must to ensure the high level of productions that we do. No single show for us is more or less important than any other – that’s why we continue to invest and rely on our partnership with Sommer Cable.”
After handling many such large-scale events, Sommer Cable has become an integral element at Showtime. “When we build out and integrate our systems,” Chauvin continued, “we use Sommer’s Mercator CAT7 line for multi-channel ethernet-based snake solutions. Using single, 2-channel, and 4-channel versions, we seamlessly cover 300+ feet with advanced cabling that not only works for our day-to-day production needs and our touring clients, but also as the backbone for large-scale events like this Megan Thee Stallion concert for all aspects of production.”
