Unum Festival is to return to the gorgeous beaches and pine forests of Shenghin on the Albanian Riviera from June 3rd to 7th 2021. After careful discussions with the Ministry of Tourism and Environment, and the Ministry of Health, all necessary measures will be undertaken to ensure that rapid tests will be offered at the open-air festival venue so that you can enjoy world-class music in a stunning, sun-kissed setting next summer. This makes Albania the first country in the world to approve of testing for social and cultural events.
The advancing technology and accuracy of rapid tests currently allows for results within 10-15 minutes, which is all that would be required to ensure you can enjoy the festival in the way it should be enjoyed. On top of that, vaccines will likely have arrived early next year so that plans for this small, perfectly formed festival are now well underway, all with the support and backing of the Albanian government.
We are looking forward to the return of Unum Festival and events in general to Albania in 2021 , which will operate in a safe and secure manner thanks to the coming vaccine and rapid testing solution. – Blendi Klosi’s, Albania’s Minister for Tourism
In 2019, the close-knit UNUM was a brand new festival that made an immediate mark in its first year because it was a friendly coming together of real music lovers in an amazing region of the world. It played out on the beautiful, organic, and natural Albanian Riviera with a world-class line-up of house, minimal, and techno DJs such as Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Butch, Margaret Dygas, Petre Inspirescu, Praslea, Sonja Moonear, Zip, and more. Expect more of these cult underground selectors when the full lineup is announced soon.
The festival really shined a spotlight on Rana e Hedhun, the last untapped corner of Europe in the town of Shengjin, on the idyllic Albanian coastline. Music played and will play again, across day and night, with blissful sunrise and sunset parties, water sports, plenty of local culture, food and drink offerings, and a music-loving crowd from all corners of the world. Beyond the music, there is lots to explore in this natural paradise, from isolated bays and gold-sand beaches to the Albanian Alps.
Until next June, take care of yourself, family, and friends and save your energy for what will be some seriously good vibes for Unum 2021.
