PK Alliance member BNE Productions hit a new milestone at Stagecoach 2024, providing the audio system for Diplo's HonkyTonk – the festival's beloved country-dance crossover venue – for presenters Goldenvoice.
From Diplo himself to Dillon Francis and Brandi Cyrus, the HonkyTonk kept crowds moving all weekend at country music's biggest festival, held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
BNE's deployment centred on 20 T10 robotic line source elements – ten per side – with 24 T218 intelligent subwoofers, supported by ten Trinity Black modules and six cardioid-configured T218s on delay duty, plus front fills and a full complement of T10 and T218 monitors.
The HonkyTonk's brief is trickier than it looks: a high-energy dance environment operating inside a larger festival footprint, where containment matters as much as impact. Using PK's patented Multi-Axis Robotics, the BNE team focused coverage tightly on the venue's crowd, preserving the party while respecting the neighbouring stages.
The Stagecoach milestone added to a landmark stretch for the Southern California production house, whose PK deployments span Coachella's Yuma tent, EDC Las Vegas, Lightning in a Bottle's main stage, and full multi-stage takeovers of Insomniac's Dreamstate and Nocturnal Wonderland.
