Prepare yourself for performances by illuminating artists such as Underworld, Mall Grab b2b Skin on Skin, Adam Beyer & Cirez D, Nabihah Iqbal, and the fascinating Max Cooper (Live).

This stage aims to deliver an exciting experience that is unlike any other by combining flawless soundscapes with stunning graphics.

Junction 2 Quad stage

Explore the Quad, a stage that was designed with the history of touring lighting techniques from the 1980s and the grandeur of stadium aesthetics as its inspiration.

Throughout the course of the weekend, two extraordinary partners will be set against a backdrop that consists of towering buildings that are ornamented with more than one hundred beams of light.

This coming Friday, the illustrious Phonica Records will be in charge of curating an immersive auditory journey that will go deep into the world of electronic music.

And on Saturday, be ready for the musical revolution that is FUSE, which will bring an unrivaled blend of cutting-edge sounds and uncontrolled energy like you’ve never heard before.

The artists Dixon, Daphni b2b Hunee Dan Shake, Enzo Siragusa b2b Dyed Soundorom, and Margaret Dygas b2b Sonja Moonear are some of the highlights of the show.

Blackout stage

The Blackout stage is an incredible sensory feast that was deliberately constructed in partnership with Ticketswap and the innovative Japanese artist Manami Sakamoto.

Guests should expect their senses to be baffled by this stage. This multi-layered visual installation tests the limits of one’s capacity for perception, and it does so across an amazing 120 meters of semi-permeable video panels.

Enter the completely darkened tunnel enclosure, where the throbbing sounds of DJ Stingray b2b Objekt, Kettama, Dax J, FJAAK, and Sama’ Abdulhadi, along with an assortment of other amazing talents, will guide you through a labyrinth of mesmerizing beats and immersive art.
