The Music On Festival is distinguished by its origins and concept. Founder Marco Carola, an Italian DJ and producer, set up the festival as an extension of his successful "Music On" club nights in Ibiza.
The festival in Harbor Park including. Luciano, Frankey Rizardo, Josh Baker, Dennis Cruz, Max Dean and Mason Collective focuses on a mix of innovative electronic and techno acts that exude a distinctly Balearic vibe, something you don't typically see at other festivals.
The location in the Meerpark, in Amsterdam Oost, is a large grassy field where the festival takes place with an arena-like stage. This setting allows for a special experience; the open air and green terrain add to the character of the event and create a unique atmosphere that is different from typical indoor festivals.
The program attracts artists internationally recognized within the electronic music genre, both established names and emerging talents. That combination with the Balearic heat and hard club sound creates a dynamic mix that appeals to fans of deep beats as well as more subtle electronic sounds.
