Presented by: YOUROPE and Take A Stand
In a world where ideologies collide, narratives shape reality, and “culture war” is the buzzword of the day - where do music festivals stand?
How do they hold their ground and nourish their values of cultural exchange, diversity, and openness in an increasingly polarised climate?
Join festival producers from across Europe as they share how they stay true to their vision, protect their spaces from backlash, and translate their beliefs into line-ups and festival experiences that matter.
Conversations will cover resilience, responsibility and the power of the stage to keep the conversation open.
