Europe’s most exciting new underground event just got even better as UNUM Festival 2021 adds a pair of standout headliners in Sven Väth and Ben Klock, plus Mathew Jonson, Dana Ruh, Tobi Neumann and more global greats. On top of this come 15 talented and local stars who are quickly on the rise, and forward-thinking partnerships with iconic brands like Sunwaves, Modernity, Club Der Visionaere, Nordsten, and sCs, plus a guarantee from the Albanian Ministries of Tourism, Environment, and Health that the event will go ahead this year from June 3rd – 7th.
UNUM has already cemented itself amongst the European elite for a number of reasons – the close-knit first edition was a memorable gathering of real music lovers in an upcoming region of the world. 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. It is a rare natural, organic and uncommercialised setting that allows for non stop music night and day, plus sunrise and sunset parties, beach parties, water sports, plenty of local culture, food and drink offerings as well as isolated bays and gold sand beaches to explore.
This year the bar will be raised again with the news that world class clubs and promotions will line up as partners. Each of these collectives will bring their own special know how and sense of underground style to UNUM and include cult Romanian techno festival Sunwaves, the unique party in the Alps that is Modernity, Berlin’s underground haven Club Der Visionaere plus the River Rhine’s floating nightclub Nordsten and more.
Now also playing across the five days of enchanting and escapist hedonism will be techno pioneers like Cocoon’s Sven Vath and Berghain’s own Ben Klock, plus the always essential master of his machines that is Mathew Jonson plus deep house’s finest Dana Ruh, Cocoon’s long time tastemaker Tobi Neumann as well as Manu Gonzalez, Jamie Roy, Andy Luff, Colin Chiddle and over 15 local artist who bring their own distinctive house and techno flavours and perspectives. Already announced are the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Priku, Praslea, tINI, Sonja Moonear, Shaun Reeves, Raresh, Cesar Merveille, Dyed Soundorom, Leon and more.
