Mackie is proud to be heavily involved with the 2008 Van’s Warped Tour. Sponsorship of three different stages ensures that thousands of music lovers will experience true Mackie sound in what is arguably one of the best roving parties of the summer. Here are the specifics of where you can find Mackie on the Warped Tour:

Solar Stage— The Kia/Kevin Says Stage is the only touring stage in the country run entirely on solar power. It is part of the Warped Tour’s promise to reduce carbon emissions and is a testament to solar power. After all, it takes a lot of juice to run a stage almost everyday for the whole summer. Two Mackie TT24’s, each stocked with a UFXII and U-100 card are employed to run both the FOH and Monitors.

Shira Girl Stage— At this years Warped Tour, Shiragirl will launch Shiragirl World, providing exposure for female artists, highlighting diversity in musical genres, age, race and geography. Mackie is a proud sponsor of this stage and is more than happy to have donated an Onyx2480 for use at FOH. You can learn more about Shiragirl World by visiting their website at www.myspace.com/shiragirlstage.

East Coast Indie Stage— Mackie is the “Official Sponsor of the East Coast Indie Stage on Vans Warped Tour", donating the entire PA System for this stage. Built by and for indie bands, this stage provides an outlet for the lesser known acts touring today. It has proven to be an excellent launching point for indie bands over the years, and this year should be no exception. There is an Onyx2480 at FOH and a massive main system comprised of eight SWA1801z’s and four SA1232z’s. Six SRM450v2 provide the needed punch and clarity on stage, along with an SWA1501 that is used as part of the drummer’s monitors. That is a decidedly professional system, giving these great indie bands a taste of what’s to come when they headline their own tour.

Please stop by any of the above stages at this years Warped Tour to see Mackie gear in action.
