**Summer is measured in long days, late nights, busy weekends and moments worth remembering.**
but this post is about appreciating a role that the audience rarely sees.
The ones behind the consoles, beside the stage, listening to every detail.
Our monitor engineers.
They carry an incredible responsibility: to give artists confidence. To make sure they can hear themselves, hear each other, and lose themselves in the moment.
While the audience hears the performance, so much of how an artist performs on the day comes down to what they can hear and how comfortable and relaxed they feel.
For so many artists travelling to our festivals without an engineer they know and trust, that can be daunting.
From arriving in the morning, to soundchecks before doors open, to changeovers between artists, our monitor engineers have to quickly build a rapport, understand what each artist needs, and create an environment where they can feel comfortable, confident and ready to perform.
It’s a job that takes patience, precision, experience and, above all, the ability to listen.
So, as another summer of shows, festivals, early starts, late finishes and countless hours comes to a close, we just want to say thank you to our monitor engineers.
For the patience.
For the precision.
For the problem-solving.
For the calm when everything else gets loud.
For caring about the details nobody else may ever notice.
You don't just mix monitors. You help create the moments people remember.
Here's to the people behind the sound of the summer. 🎚️❤️
**Our monitor engineers — thank you.**
