Wharfedale Pro provided the main sound system for Tolkien Days in Geldern, Germany, a four-day festival that drew around 14,000 visitors to Tolkien-themed activities, live entertainment and concerts for fantasy fans from across Europe.
As in previous years, the system was required to handle a wide range of content throughout the festival, from spoken word and acoustic performances through to full concert productions.
The headline act for 2026 was Italian power metal band Wind Rose. Their performance demanded high output levels and strong low-frequency impact, with the Wharfedale Pro system delivering consistent coverage across the audience.
With audio production managed by Rockline-Veranstaltungstechnik from Issum, Spirit of Sound Veranstaltungstechnik supplied the main system of 16 Wharfedale Pro WLA-312X line array elements supported by 12 WLA-218BX dual-18-inch subwoofers, with multiple WLA-112 loudspeakers providing infill coverage.
DSP was managed with Wharfedale Pro XC Series system controllers with related FIR presets.
Having again been selected for one of Germany’s best-known fantasy festivals, the deployment demonstrates the continued confidence of both rental companies and event organisers in Wharfedale Pro’s WLA Series line array systems for large-scale outdoor events.
