For this first instalment of the festival, BHM have secured Backbone International and T-Minus Design who have worked on stage productions for Tomorrowland, Mystery Land and Sensation.

The festival will aim to create a mythical world where international electronic music and entertainment will collide with Chinese culture, shows and art.

“C.E.A. Festival is truly a project that’s been in the planning for over 10 years,” said BHM’s Managing Director Paul Neuteboom.

“It’s been a strong personal goal to bring the rich elements of Chinese culture, entertainment and history together into one premium, international festival experience like the ones I grew up with in The Netherlands.”
