Summer finally arrived to the northern hemisphere filling us with warmth and sunshine. With it our beloved open air psy trance festivals season has started as well. As there are by far more festivals as one can participate in, here are two exeptional ones we fully recommend. We hope to see you there to dance with us under the moon, the sun and the stars.



General approach: One of the most expected festival of the season is coming closer and closer. After the great success and the incredible response last year, Paradise Festival is starting its second phase. Expect a unique party experience and perfect nature when the picturesque Steinbruch Falkenstein and the nearby Castle ruin are transformed into a center of electronic music and art. More than 100 Acts on 3 Stages will take you to another dimension and create an outstanding environment.

Full Paradise atmosphere can be expected on the „Dream Stage” with Psytrance, Fullon and Progressive-Psy, while the „Moon Stage” is dedicated to Underground and Dark-Psy. Furthermore, the „Sun Stage” is the best place for lovers of Elektro, Minimal and Progressive. On Friday, the famous Cosmic Space Disco-Crew will rock your bodies and senses and on Saturday, the well-known Sturm und Drang-crew will present their world festival-premiere among the finest of Vienna’s Minimal Techno elite.

In addition, Benski, El Geko, The Funny Astronaut and some of the world’s most famous visual experts will blow your mind with breathtaking projections and unique visual presentations.

General approach: The Somuna Festival trys to be a bit free from musical scenes and styles. The roots of the Somuna Festival are in the GoaTrance, PsyTrance movement, but with it's very different properties and concept the Somuna Festival aims to extend itself to a mere psychedelic event. Musically there will still a majority of electronic music be played, however the music will be complemented by psychedelic music from all possible genres.

The Somuna Festival tries to be a Festival of creation not consumption. The guests have various possibilities to express their own creativity and to be part of the festival. Through the focus on the substantial and the creativity an atmosphere is being created that also allows children to share the experience.

Nature, People and Music are in the center and as few distraction as possible is being provided. This is why the Somuna Festival limits itself to one dancefloor and decoration made from natural material only.

As far that is possible with loud music the Somuna Festival tries to be one with all its surrounding. It is being organized under respect of all regulations and in complete consensus with all concerned. At the festival garbage is being seperated, the bar uses compostable cups and the electricity is not being produced by diesel but comes from the local network and is being produced mostly by water.
