Performing At The Opening Concert

Dimensions once again takes over the stunning 2000 year old amphitheatre near Fort Punta Christo for the opening concert on Wednesday 27th August, a unique element of the festival experience. Acclaimed headliner Caribou takes centre stage, alongside Darkside, the equally thrilling union of Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, their collaborative excursions creating masterful pieces of electronica. Support comes from the experimental producer and composer Nils Frahm and singer Kwabs, whose soulful, powerful and enchanting voice mixes his African roots, r ‘n’ b and gospel influences to mesmerising effect.

One of house and techno’s true pioneers, Moodymann, offers rare edits and party gems. Esteemed techno duo Juan Atkins & Moritz von Oswald are on hand to keep things heavy, as are Detroit heavyweight techno collective Underground Resistance.

One of the world’s most in-demand DJs, Nina Kraviz, makes her debut, with the genre-hopping beat-crafter Floating Points returning.
