Martin Audio WPL reinforces Dianjiang Peony Culture Festival concert

The Dianjiang Peony Culture Festival is one of Southwest China’s most prominent floral and cultural events. With over 25 years of history, the festival attracts thousands of visitors annually - and in 2026 added further momentum to its tourist appeal with a concert at Dianjiang County Stadium, reinforced by a Martin Audio WPL Wavefront Precision sound system.

With an expanded programme and a broader “Wellness & Health” focus, the 2026 Festival - entitled “New Charm of Chongqing - Wellness Dianjiang” - ran for three months from March to May. Daytime flower viewing was complemented by a diverse calendar of activity, including sports events such as the Peony Marathon and Triathlon, food festivals, arts exhibitions, and this year’s Peony Festival Concert featuring nationally recognised music stars.

On April 12, artists Zhang Xinzhe (better known internationally as Jeff Chang), Yu Wenwen (Kelly Yu), Huang Pinyuan and Xianzi took to the stage at Dianjiang County Stadium. For main PA coverage, the concert deployed 36 Martin Audio WPL Wavefront Precision line array loudspeakers, flown as eighteen cabinets per side. Outfill coverage in the stadium was provided by a Martin Audio W8LC system, with left/right hangs comprising twelve units per side.

A further W8LC system was also deployed as delays - optimised using Martin Audio’s software - and configured as two flown hangs of twelve elements, combined with four ground-stacked array elements per side. For the front-row audience area, a Martin Audio W8LM frontfill system, featuring wide and consistent 120° dispersion, was evenly distributed as six stacks of two elements. Low-frequency reinforcement came from a total of 44 ground-stacked Martin Audio WS218X dual 18-inch, ultra-long-excursion subwoofers.
