Crystal Palace Park recently debuted the UK's largest outdoor 360° immersive sound festival powered by Polygon Live LDN. By deploying L-Acoustics’ new L-ISA technology, Polygon was able to surround audiences with a spatial sound environment, placing them at the forefront of audio innovation in live music.
The three day event featuring artists such as Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper, Cosmo Sheldrake, and Halina Rice was powered by the newly-launched L-Acoustics L-ISA 2025 and eco-conscious L Series. Since first integrating L-ISA technology at Thailand's Wonderfruit Festival in 2018, Polygon has been steadily refining its vision of placing audiences at the centre of the musical experience rather than in front of it.
Polygon's hemispherical dome houses nearly 125 loudspeakers, creating a sound field where every element can be animated in real time across three dimensions. "What we've created is emotionally transformative," said Polygon director, Adam Nicholas. "When sound can originate from anywhere in a 360° field and travel through space with precision, artists can paint with an entirely new palette.”
L-Acoustics Certified Provider Britannia Row supplied the immersive 12.1.4 system for the dome. "L-ISA technology gives us creative freedom that didn't exist before," said Nicholas. "For artists working in electronic, ambient, and experimental genres, it's a game-changer."
