Same Same But Different Festival

Same Same But Different (SSBD) is an immersive, community-driven music and arts festival known for its high-energy performances, vibrant visual environments, and intentional sound design. Set beneath expansive shade structures and surrounded by dynamic lighting and art installations, the festival delivers a fully enveloping audiovisual experience for thousands of attendees.

Audio Optix & Overkill Audio supported SSBD with professional audio deployment and on-site technical execution, ensuring consistent, powerful sound coverage across the dance floor while maintaining clarity and balance throughout the space. Working within a complex temporary festival environment, our team collaborated closely with production and creative teams to integrate audio seamlessly with lighting, staging, and scenic elements—resulting in an atmosphere that felt both massive and intimate.

The result was a high-impact, festival-grade sound experience that elevated performances, energized the crowd, and contributed to the signature SSBD vibe of connection, movement, and shared experience.
