APG’s versatile Uniline series lent its power and precision to the 20th-anniversary edition of Raismes Fest, which is held every year in the town of Raismes near Valenciennes, in the North of France. The event has been organised by the Raismoise Association of Culture since 1998 and returned once again to the park of the Château de la Princesse d’Arenberg for another weekend of hard rock and metal. This year saw a variety of international acts such as Rose Tattoo, L.A. Guns and prog metal supergroup Sons Of Apollo bring a wall of noise to the festival’s dedicated fanbase.
Whilst the audio requirements for Raismes Fest tend to stay the year-on-year; with the number one priority being the main stage system that is capable of stacking up against the powerful array of bands on the line-up, the site and music genre offers some challenges that keep ACS busy.
