How does acoustic design of outdoor festival stages influence audience sound experience?

I'm planning a set for an upcoming open-air festival and wondering how the acoustic design of the stage area—like panel placement, canopy shape, and speaker arrays—actually shapes what the crowd hears. Specifically, how do these factors interact with ambient noise and wind to affect clarity and bass response? Are there general guidelines or principles that work across different venues? Would love to hear your experiences or any theory you rely on when mixing for such spaces.
