This reminds me of the 2009 Good Vibrations festival in the Gold Coast Australia. FatBoy Slim was the headline act playing main stage. About 10 mins into his set the heavens opened up and we got our usual summer flash flooding. The place was knee deep in water by the end and was pretty much a pool party. took a few picks, but sadly my camera & phone did not survive the onslaught of rain. ---

> [@MuzicFreq](#): > > HOLY CRAP SOOO MUCH MONEY RAINED ON!!:eek: :eek: That’s Melbourne for you! Sunny one minute, pouring the next! And having worked in the festival/touring industry, I’m suprised they put the decks so close to the edge of the stage if they knew that weather was coming - you should always be expecting it in Melbourne! I’ve also seen FOH amps rained on before - 20mins to showtime too! Not pretty! :eek: ---

The PA should have at least 2 fuses on the main amp, so might get away with it there. All PA gear in festivals is kept behind the dj. Normally Just a couple of EQ’s really by the dj and thats it. I’ve been stage side AAA to several festivals and have seen this be the case. But i guess it’s upto the sound tech dude on site really how wires and sets up the gear. ---

I have also played in a club where the plugs to all the power were where my knees are when standing in the DJ Booth. (Cement one…) After drinks and smokables, i was jumping up and down doing my thing and BOOM…no power. Realized what happened and turned it on again, but it took about 30 secs. No one really worried about it…except my mates. They ragged for for the rest of the night. ---

Main fuse blown, thought it was a power outage at first. Mood killer. Opening night of a large “rave” club in Stockton, UK back in 1990, I managed to kick out the main breaker for the entire club … complete darkness except for emergency lighting. The electricians couldn’t have put it in a stupider place, directly under the decks at feet level. Once it started up again the only tune i could think of to start over again was “Is anybody out there?” by Bassheads.
