Flashback to the Comeback 🥊

Back in July, as the summer sun beat down on the UK, AF Live sent a crew across to the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia to provide sound for the return to the ring of a British boxing superstar. 🌟

The event, titled ‘The Comeback’, was Anthony Joshua’s first boxing match since his involvement in the tragic traffic collision which claimed the lives of two of his closest friends - and a comeback indeed it was. AJ showed his grit & heart, surviving a scare in the first round to win by signature, emphatic knockout. 💪

This dramatic conclusion followed an utterly electric sequence of bouts, with some truly world class fighters taking to the squared circle. British stars, Hamzah Sheeraz & Josh Kelly both took home unanimous decision victories, while Reito Tsutsumi notched up another TKO win. 🏆

The Superdome looked spectacular and our team took great care in the deployment and management of a powerful L-Acoustics sound system to fill the venue completely, while our production partners at Arena Video Ltd made sure every detail was crystal clear with their video production. 🖥️

Following AJ’s win, all anyone could talk about was the long-postulated clash between him and Tyson Fury. We’re a couple months down the road now and still crossing our fingers for news on this massive mega-fight in the making… 🤞

Great day today, getting this PK Sound system ready for a big night at The O2 on Saturday. 🔊🥊

AF Live is super hyped up to providing sound at another boxing mega-fight as Moses ITAUMA takes on Filip Hrgović for the IBF World Heavyweight title at a massive event from Queensberry, streamed around the world on DAZN 💯

Our engineers are building a true monster of a system using this incredible hardware, bringing no less than 18x T18 sub and 72x T8 loudspeakers. No matter which aisle you’re sat in, from the front row to the nose-bleeds, you’ll be feeling this one. 💥

It’s an absolute pleasure to be working alongside our partners at Arena Video Ltd as always, whose industry-leading video production will lend proceedings some trademark flare. 🔥

This is going to be an unmissable fight for boxing fans. We cannot wait. 💪

AF Live’s natural habitat. 🌊🦁🌱🔊

Still nowhere near getting over this year’s Boomtown and can’t wait to share some closer looks into the stories, teams, people and hardware behind the technical production at 2026’s landmark edition. 💪

18/08/2026

The Radical Redesign was so real. ✨ With each passing edition it seems that must have reached its peak, only to then be surpassed once again with what follows. 📈 It was a vintage year for the festival and one which AF Live were incredibly proud to have played a part in delivering. 💪 Any given event will present a unique set of challenges to address and with a festival of this many areas, the variety of contexts within which custom technical production solutions are required is myriad. 💯 Three stages which epitomised this from last weekend, were Hydro XL, Lion’s Den and Nexus. 🔊 We will be sharing an in-depth look at how a range of technical production disciplines came together to create each of these world’s in which attendees came to lose themselves. 🚀

Saturday already! How does it happen? 👀 Just a quick shout out to everyone whose skill, determination and collaboration bring the technical production Boomtown to life. 💯 It is AF Live’s privilege to continue to have the opportunity to work alongside you all, in our role as technical production lead. The passion for this event is something so special and to share this with such an incredible range of talented people and teams on such an expansive project is nothing short of a pleasure. 🙏 They say it takes a village to raise a child so it’s no surprise that it takes a small nation of professionals & volunteers to raise a technical production behemoth like Boomtown. 🔥

Getting things running in the Gower. 🏃‍♀️

AF Live had the pleasure of travelling to the Gower in South Wales last weekend for Love Trails Festival, where our team delivered site-wide technical production. To have the opportunity to work at an event with such a special atmosphere was amazing. 🌞

Across the site of this wholesome weekender, AF Live supplied, installed and managed technical production across all areas, facilitating a line up comprised of DJ sets, live music, yoga, inspirational talks, workshops and group workout sessions. 💪

The festival has a really unique feel, with passion for running and wellness taking centre stage. Our team made sure to take care of production across site, while attendees took care of each other and themselves. 💕

Last weekend the Saints well & truly came Marching In to 🪽AF Live were proud to be working alongside & for & at very special event for Southampton’s boxing community. 🥊

22/06/2026

AF Live spent Saturday night in Southampton, trying out some powerful new kit at an event filled with homegrown talent. 🥊

The sound of ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ filling the summer air of St Mary’s stadium was a frequent reminder of what it meant to those in the stands, to support their local boxing talent. 💪

‘Marching In’ was another stellar promotion from Queensberry Promotions alongside Matchroom and streamed worldwide on DAZN. The main event featured a world title showdown between the dangerous Italian technician Magnesi and Southampton’s very own Ryan ‘The Piranha’ Garner. Those in attendance saw their belief rewarded as the hometown hero claimed the win. 💥

On site, providing full audio production services throughout the stadium, the AF Live team took the opportunity to some fantastic kit from PK Sound through it's paces. Working alongside a technician from the PK Sound team, a full sound system comprised of their innovative hardware was deployed. The east and west facing hangs were made up of 12 x T10 units, while the north & south facing hangs featured 10 x T8 units each. These were supported by 8 x T218 subs and a mix of TX26 and T8 units for front and in fill. ⚡️

The results spoke for themselves. Our experienced team came away thoroughly impressed with the power, coverage and clarity achieved throughout the large venue. Equally as impressive as the sound quality, was the unit's variable robotic actuation controls. The arrays can be flown flat and then adjusted for vertical taper and horizontal coverage once deployed - a workflow which offered immense capacity for fine tuning. 🔊

Meanwhile, our production partners at Arena Video once again brought their absolute A-game, equipping the ring, walk-on stage and stadium at large with a selection of stunning video screens, ensuring not a single moment of action was missed. 🔆

What a weekend! 🔥🕷🔊

Working hard to deliver top tier sound for this legendary piece of British festival lore and then seeing the spider come to life, surrounded by a sea of ecstatic ravers had us feeling some kind of way. 💯

Got to give a massive thanks to Arcadia for getting us involved and a massive thanks to Forbidden Forest for getting them involved. Not to mention a massive thanks to our entire AF Live team for doing what you do best and absolutely smashing that out. 💪

Festival season has well and truly landed, let's have it! 💥

What sound does a Spider make? 🕷

AF Live are extremely proud to be working with Arcadia once again, this time bringing one of their most iconic installations, The Spider, to Leicestershire for the intensely immersive, Forbidden Forest festival. 🌳

It’s always a pleasure to work-alongside our longtime collaborators at Arcadia - they’re a great team to work with and the scope & creativity of their work always brings out the best in us. That’s why we pulled out all the stops to make sure this is the best sounding spider ever. 💪

The mission was to wrap this leviathan in a web of sound and to push this 360 sound-field iteration up to new heights, we have equipped the arena with it’s first 9-point L-Acoustics system. Each of the nine towers in the outer ring features 4 x K2 & 1 x KS28 on the top platform, with another 2 x KS28 & 6 x Kiva II underneath. Below the beast’s belly, the inner sound field is made up of 3-points, each formed from 2 x SB28 and 3 x Kara II. 🔊

From our team we had Bryan McLean on Design & Systems, Ben Pedley on FoH, Dan Stewart as DJ Tech and Matt Peters as PA Tech. 🛠

We’re really happy with the result we have achieved with this one - with the sound system offering a fantastic balance of power with clarity against propagation & external sound-level control. One of the key priorities on this site is keeping the impact on local residents to the lowest level possible - something we have taken extensive measures to ensure. 💯

So, in summary, what sound does a Spider make? It’s makes a bloody nice one. 🔥
