Say the team, “This event will 100% take place in a responsible way and Covid secure fashion as it has full government approval, regardless of restrictions in other countries. So even if it has to become an event for just locals or those able to travel, then this is what will happen. This is thanks to Swallow Events, our partners in this, providing their rapid testing service for the festival to ensure everyone who enters is tested and virus-free beforehand. We are taking all measures required to ensure safety measures are followed at all times and there will be zero tolerance on this matter.”
In its first year, the close-knit UNUM was a brand new festival that made an immediate mark because it was a friendly coming together of real music lovers in an amazing region of the world. It played out on the beautiful, organic and natural Albanian Riviera with a world class line-up of house, minimal and techno DJs. The festival really shined a spotlight on Rana e Hedhun, the last untapped corner of Europe in the town of Shengjin, on the idyllic Albanian coastline. Music played, and will play again, across day and night, with blissful sunrise and sunset parties, water sports, plenty of local culture, food and drink offerings and a music loving crowd from all corners of the world. Beyond the music there is lots to explore in this natural paradise, from isolated bays and gold sand beaches to the Albanian Alps.
This year, from June 2nd with support from the Albanian Ministry of Tourism and Environment, the UNUM team will turn the city of Shengjin into a thriving destination of music, art and youth creativity for Culture Week. This is a brand new addition for 2021 that will be a meeting point of the artistic community, amazing names from the world of art, music and traditional Albanian culture that is founded on five pillars.short and long films, silent cinema, panel discussions, installations, street art, graffiti, murals, sculpture work artistic performances and much more from a team of professional artists from all over the world who will be invited to pitch to take part in the coming weeks.
