Beautiful idea but: I wasn’t able to hear quite anything of the performances at the Campfire when I tried it, because of the music of Colosseum and Party arena. Maybe when I was sitting in the front row, or second I heard decently… But the bass from the other two stages was annoying because it was of course on another rhythm compared to the songs the artists were playing at the Campfire, so a non enjoyable mixture of sounds to hear. They need to change it in a more quiet location
