Vivid Sky Takes Trinity Black from Stadiums to Street Festivals with Slightly Stoopid

PK Alliance member Vivid Sky Productions carried a PK Sound Trinity Black robotic line source system across Slightly Stoopid's Summertime 2023 tour with Sublime with Rome, Atmosphere, and The Movement – 32 shows in 31 cities spanning everything from a Pittsburgh street festival to sold-out nights at Red Rocks and the band's biggest headline show at San Diego's Petco Park.

That venue diversity was the story of the tour. Using PK's patented Multi-Axis Robotics, the Vivid Sky team mechanically re-tailored the system's vertical and horizontal coverage to each stop – stadium, amphitheatre, or city block – without changing the rig.

At Red Rocks, system tech Drew White's design flew 15 Trinity Black modules per side with 12 flown T218 intelligent subwoofers per side and 12 T10 front fills, focusing coverage on the bowl and off the rock formations.

The engineers took notice. “It's so clear, so transparent. Everything is present no matter how hard I drive it,” said Slightly Stoopid FOH engineer James Wisner, who was featured alongside the tour in Mix Magazine's tour profile.

Sublime with Rome FOH engineer Jono Cheverez echoed the verdict in FRONT of HOUSE Magazine's exclusive feature on the tour: “Trinity Black just cuts through it all – clean, crisp vocals, the dub effects coming off so nicely. It's been so responsive and sharp.”

For Gainesville, Florida's Vivid Sky Productions, the Summertime run was a defining showcase – proof that a single robotic system could serve one of America's hardest-touring bands across every scale the summer could throw at it.
