FANO, Italy – In its second year, the Adriatic Sound Festival drew 30,000 to a seaside setting for three days of House and Techno music with Nexo sound systems supplied by Backstage. More details from Nexo (www.nexo-sa.com):Inspired by Fano’s Roman heritage and stunning oceanside setting, the Adriatic Sound Festival 2026 took place in June on a site at the Italian city’s airport. Sound for the Hangar (Techno) stage was provided once again by local production rental company Backstage. “A total of 64 x NEXO STM S118 subs were stacked in pairs across the front of the stage, with 27 x STM M28s used for front fills.” Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1990s NEXO Alpha design, Alpha+ is an ultra-powerful, long-throw, three-box FOH system that combines the benefits of line-source coupling with the ease of deployment typically associated with point-source loudspeakers.
