The festival’s upcoming edition promises an expansive experience with over 200 international artists, eight stages, and a wide range of immersive activations and music zones designed to create a multi-dimensional festival environment.
While the mainstage continues to attract global superstars, the Galaxy Stage maintains a distinct identity focused on house and techno culture, offering festival-goers a powerful indoor experience built around deep grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and extended DJ performances.
