The arena
A festival city for a single day
The whole arena becomes its own world once the gates open. There is a festival scale stage at the heart of it, kitchens from around the world along the edges, and stands you can lose an afternoon in between the sets.
Ten international kitchens
More than ten cuisines and vendors line the arena, so the food is as much of a journey as the music.
Twenty experience stands
Twenty interactive stands run through the day, from styling and art to gaming and brand activations built for the crowd.
A stage built for the moment
A festival scale main stage anchors the arena, with production designed to carry every headline set.

The whole festival streams live in high definition, so friends and fans anywhere in the world can watch every headline set as it happens. Founding members get their stream access before the public link goes out.
