Unum is a festival known for its knowledgeable attendees, reasonable ticket pricing, and welcoming atmosphere. Three previous editions brought a beautiful and colorful group of dedicated music lovers to Rana e Hedhun, a tranquil enclave of Europe located in the village of Shengjin on the picturesque Albanian coastline. Your senses will be tantalized by the diverse assortment of regional cultures and customs as well as by the unbroken sun, sea, and top-notch sounds here.
One of the few breathtaking sites in the world that is undeveloped and as natural as it gets is in this region. That lends the whole festival an organic feel unlike any other as you are left to plot your own movie-like trip: there is an array of heart-racing water sports, mouthwatering local food and drink offerings, and plenty of isolated bays and secluded woodland areas to explore.
UNUM Festival has multiple stages in various natural environments
There are three open-air, unrestricted stages in Unum where the renownedly elegant soundtrack is played. One of the most recognizable parts of the picture is The Pine Stage, which is surrounded by tall pine trees. It opens on Thursday and runs 24/7 non-stop with stage partners Animal Crossing, Club Der Visionaere and After Caposile, while Monday is a special day-into-night family gathering with Slapfunk.
The biggest headliners are presented on the Main Stage on Friday and Saturday with sympathetic production and an actual focus on top-notch sound systems, while various beach parties hosted in partnership with Kunye, Shimza, and Nordstern allow you to truly take in the breathtaking sunsets and sunrises with the ideal musical accompaniments provided by the DJ talent.
A balanced mix of returning favorites and brand-new artists make up this year’s lineup. There will be deep and emotive selections from Dyed Soundorom, Samuel Deep, Reiss, and John Dimas, hypnotic minimal styles from Ricardo Villalobos, Magda, Barem, Rhadoo, Raresh, Praslea, Cezar, Priku, John Dimas, Sonja Moonear, Margaret Dygas, tINI and Anthea with plenty more Shimza, Laolu, Boris Werner and Doudou MD with more to come.
The time is rapidly ticking down to another fantastically stylish and gloriously lovely UNUM event. Be sure to get your ticket via the UNUM website.
