The second event will take place tomorrow in collaboration with Radio Deejay and M2O. The concert will feature Deejay Times’s Albertino, Fragetta, Molella and Preziosi with live performances by J Ax, Baby K, Corona, Ice MC and a special guest performance by Meduza.

The festival has become a summer highlight in the concert calendar with this year’s two main concerts supported by a number of satellite events.

Tickets for the main concerts are free although a €3 donation is required to cover the cost of a reusable cup that should be used throughout the festival. This reduces the amount of plastic waste generated.
