Canada - The opening night of Nelly Furtado's Get Loose tour took place in her her hometown of Victoria. British Columbia. From there she headed eastward, ending the Canadian dates in Ottawa on, just days after she cleaned out at the Junos (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy Awards) with five wins, a trophy for every category she was nominated in.

Towers Clair Showco, based in Toronto is providing Adamson Speakers for the entire North American Tour that will continues into the US, starting 30 May 30 in Florida and finishing 21 June in California.

Furtado's FOH Engineer Jeffrey Holdip gave his approval to the Y-10 Adamson system used during the rehearsal period in Toronto this past January. The feedback gathered while mixing during the Canadian dates confirmed Holdip's instinct about wanting to tour with the Adamson system.

The set-up required 16 rigging points. Main Left & Right PA consisted of 12 Y18's with a four Y10 enclosure under-hang per side, powered with four Lab.Gruppen fP6400's and eight fp3400's a side. Six T-21 Subs per side were stacked three-wide, two-high on the floor in front of the stage, each sub using a single fP6400 for power running in parallel mode.

Next to the T-21 Subs 2 Clair P-2's were placed on top of their cases for additional front-fill. Four Adamson SX subs were stacked in the centre with another two Clair P-2's placed on top. The P-2's were powered with Crown 3600's. Two additional hangs of four SpekTrix for front-fills and a 12-box Y10 side hang per side also drew Crown power.

Ben Cabot, Adamson's tech support flew in for all the west coast, prairie, and Quebec dates, with Jesse Adamson joining Ben for the Toronto set-up.
