Fresh Island Festival 2020

Fresh Island Festival was launched in 2012 and immediately reached an important spot in Europeans’ hearts, being a must-see even in the summer.

Famed for its sun-drenched vibes and poolside dancing, the festival has formed into a full week hip hop/RnB & afrobeats holiday with pre and after parties, pool parties and boat parties.

From the very beginning, Fresh Island has hosted some of the world’s biggest music stars.

All the way from NAS in the first festival year, Snoop Dogg in 2013 to French Montana, Chris Brown, ASAP Rocky, Sean Paul, Kehlani to Stefflon Don & Burna Boy in 2019.

Billed as Europe’s leading urban music festival, this year’s event will be held from 4-9 July 2020 and mark Fresh Island’s 9th year of “hip-hop hedonism”.

The festival staying true to its mission statement of catering to every “urban music need” – lit up what, for many, would have been the first week of summer, with a truly glittering array of R&B, hip-hop & afrobeats.

Should a few more festivals replicate the success of Fresh Island, this summer might yet prove to be as memorable as the taste of Pag’s famous cheese.

Wizkid will be the headline artists.
