No Walls
A field, and sound that has to be built.
On a field or a lake shore there is nothing to reflect from, so the whole sound field is built: towers, flown arrays, delay positions down the ground, and a get-out that takes it all away again. Ground conditions decide more here than programming does.

The Malsaucy
Les Eurockéennes on the presqu'île du Malsaucy at Belfort — a lake peninsula where nothing reflects and the whole sound field has to be built.

Carhaix
Vieilles Charrues on farmland in Finistère, and the logistics of a field that is a field again in September.

Line arrays and delay
Delay towers exist because sound travels roughly 343 metres a second and a large field is longer than that in useful terms.
