Description:
Take a ride to Ferropolis with all your besties in tow. Break out of your daily routines and become one with the present. Let yourself drift from stage to stage listening to the peninsula’s pulsating beats between breathtaking steel giants. Dive into a flickering sea of lights until the sun rises again on Lake Gremmin’s horizon. Then jump into the lake’s cool waters and start anew: that’s the legendary Melt Festival for you.
Over the past 20 years, Melt set new standards on the international festival circuit and left nothing to be desired. Groundbreaking performances by Björk, Pet Shop Boys, The Streets, Portishead, Moderat, Kylie Minogue, Tame Impala, Justice, Disclosure, Jamie xx, Flume, Oasis, Lana Del Rey, Boys Noize, Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin and many more turned Ferropolis upside down while the best of what the electronic scene had to offer blurred the lines between genres altogether. You want more? Then don’t hesitate and join the euphoric crowd on the Sleepless Floor – and dance until you drop.
Musical directions:
Indie, Alternative Pop/Rock, Techno, Electronica, Minimal, Hip-Hop, Grime, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, New Rave, … Quality knows no genre!
