Robbie Williams in Chile with Adamson

Williams has along the way proved to be a sometimes shocking, but a definite mainstay on the scene, with having caused controversy, faced censorship and broken multiple records. His famous video for “Rock DJ” was banned in the U.K. upon its release, but was later awarded "Best Song of 2000" at the MTV Europe Music Awards and "Best Single of the Year" at the Brit Awards. Williams also realized his dream with his fourth studio album, the Big Band album “Swing while you’re winning”, which features a duet sung with the Academy Award winning actress Nicole Kidman. It resulted in yet another #1 single called "Something Stupid", originally sung by his hero, Frank Sinatra, and his daughter Nancy.

Williams, whom also always dreamt about performing at London's Royal Albert Hall, got his wish by appearing in a one man showcase performing the said album. Notably, he is also entered in The Guinness Book of World Records’, for selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day, when announcing his World Tour for 2006. Williams kicked off his ‘Close Encounters’ world tour in April in South Africa, recently landing in South-America in Chile’s capital city of Santiago. As many as 77,000 people packed themselves at the ‘Estadio National’, to listen to his latest offerings, including the Spanish language version of his early hit ‘Angels’, bringing his total ‘Close Encounters’ tour attendance numbers to a whopping 3 million.

Cristian Olavarria Ltd, is an Adamson Y-Axis partner, and a well respected rental company that supplies sound production for the majority of International acts, such as Pearl Jam, Avril Lavigne, Black Eyed Peas and Coldplay, when making their stop in Chile. Williams usually tours with Britannia Row’s inventory when possible, with FOH engineer Tony Szabo and system tech Sherif El Barbari ensuring a nightly top notch sound.

Olavarria Ltd, who owns a large inventory of Adamson’s Yaxis Line Y18 & Y10 True Line Source Arrays, tapped into his Adamson inventory and provided two powerful 16 box Y18 hangs for the show’s main arrays in order to smoothly cover the National stadium. The size of the venue called for delays and a side P.A. for which Olavarria utilized some of his smaller JBL VerTec’s. Meyer Sound’s MSL-2 ‘s, and EAW subs took care of the front fills and bass, respectively.
