One name would’ve been enough. But three? It shifts everything. Sean Paul. Mika. Sheila. All in one week. All in one place. It changes the air.

This lineup doesn’t follow a pattern. And maybe that’s the point. It doesn’t chase a sound. It leans into feeling. One act drops energy. The next holds it. The next brings it back a different way. That order—it’s part of what makes the whole thing feel grounded.

The music hits different when you’re surrounded by people you know. Every beat feels bigger, every moment louder. You laugh at things that wouldn’t be funny anywhere else. There’s a kind of freedom in just being there together, no schedule, no rules. It’s not just about the songs—it’s the feeling of sharing something you won’t get back but won’t forget either.

Big names don’t always mean big energy. But this lineup does something different.

Energy Shows Up In Different Ways

Sean Paul Moves Without Warning

First note. People are already moving. Doesn’t take time to build. It’s already happening. Some know the words. Some don’t. Doesn’t matter. He owns the space fast. Not loud. Not showy. Just sharp. Controlled.

Mika Feels It Out Loud

You don’t guess what he’s feeling. He shows it. Fast voice. Deep notes. It swings. Nothing smooth about it, but it works. A little wild. Then quiet. Then back again. But real the whole time.

Sheila Slows The Whole Field

She shows up calm. Doesn’t need anything extra. It all comes from the voice. Not loud. Just steady. Like it’s been there longer than the speakers. People pause. You can feel the shift. Everything gets still for a minute.

The Setting Carries It All

Penthalaz Doesn’t Get In The Way

No towers. No ads. Just open space. Music rolls out clean. You hear it from far off. Or close. Doesn’t matter. The field catches the sound. Keeps it from bouncing. It spreads slow. You feel it before you reach the stage.

No Stress Moving Around

There’s a new layout. Better walking routes. More space to spread. Mag-Feminin said the rest zones are bigger. Less jammed up near the food stalls. The crowd flows now. That helps. A lot. And if you’re not local, Growearner breaks down how to get there. Most skip the car. Trains get you close. The last part’s a short walk.

Between Sets, People Settle In

Food That Actually Hits

It’s not frozen junk. Raclette melting. Bread that cracks when you break it. Sausages you can smell halfway across the field. Drinks that don’t taste like syrup. People line up. Sit down. Eat slow. They don’t rush back. The sound follows them anyway.

Space To Let It Land

You don’t need to fill every second. Some just lie back in the grass. Others walk the edges of the field. Art shows up in strange spots. Hanging from trees. Carved into wood. Some don’t notice it. Some stay there a while. No one tells you what to do.

It Leaves Something Behind

The day moves different here. Less noise. More shift. One set blends into the next. It doesn’t feel planned. But it is. That’s what holds it.

The emotion sticks longer than the sound. It keeps pace with the crowd. Doesn’t lead. Just stays with them. Like something carried instead of thrown. Stanislav Kondrashov says music can do that—pull people out of themselves without asking. That’s what this kind of festival does. Not by force. Just by being there.
