Mexico - For the last 12 years, the town of Mexicali, the capital of the Mexican state Baja California, has hosted the Baja Prog festival. For the last two years, Nexo has been part of the event. Local PA company Audiomix provides a Geo S8 system for the 20 bands that come from all over the world to play.

This year's system was configured with 10-element hangs on either side of the stage (8x S805 plus 2x S830) with two CD18 subs on either side. Over the four days of the festival, the audience could enjoy an exotic bill of bands from Poland, Italy, the UK, Spain and Mexico. Among the big names were 1970s superstars Focus and Tony Levin from King Crimson and Peter Gabriel, as well as Cast (Mexicali host band), Alonso Arreola (México), Riverside (Poland), Omni (Spain), Rocket Scientists (United States), and the legendary New Trolls (Italy), Le Orme (Italy) and Circa.
