The first batch of artists has been announced! Our programmers and curators have scouted 28 new, fresh and exceptional live acts from home and abroad.

So what does that sound like? Think fresh indie and synthpop, experimental corners of the hip-hop scene, danceable blends of funk and roots reggae, compelling psychedelia, abrasive post-punk, melancholy neoclassical and left-field house and breakbeat. In short, food for the musical omnivore and those with an open mind.

Three of our stages are dedicated to live acts, in addition there is one DJ stage. We capture the feel of an intimate club show, but at a festival; the stages have the modest size of between 500 and 2,000 people. The focus is on daytime and early night; programming runs from 12:00 to 02:00.

That first edition is one you want to experience! Check out the first part of the program below and be ready for ticket sales at 12:00 on Wednesday, December 20.
