The major European festival, which was first founded in 2000, plays host to a plethora of genres each year but reports that 2024's edition is to be the event's "best electronic music editions so far" according to founder and director, Dušan Kovačević. "Every year, we elevate both the line-up and production to a higher level," he says.
Welcoming more than 1000 artists across 40 stages, the huge festival was proclaimed "Best Major European Festival" and the EU Festival awards in both 2013 and 2017.
