Top class line-up: The festival will once again feature the top stars of the world electronic scene
This year, for the first time at Beats for Love, the world-famous star, DJ, producer, and Grammy Award winner Calvin Harris will perform. On the Love stage by ČSOB, this Scottish native will present a show that Ostrava has never experienced before. “Calvin is the king of pop music with a refined sense for creating globally popular hits that break charts. I am convinced that thanks to the great atmosphere of his performance, he will also conquer Ostrava,” added the festival's program director Jiří Ramík. Negotiating with Harris was no easy task for the organizers. “This is truly a unique booking, as Calvin rarely performs in Europe. For example, he has not performed at the most famous electronic dance music festival, Tomorrowland, in the last decade. And we have the honor of welcoming him this summer right on our main stage,” explained Kamil Rudolf, the festival director.
Although the organizers focus on the design of the festival and the high artistic value of all accompanying performances and installations as part of the Beats for Love Universe project, the music line-up still plays a primary role. It is therefore appropriate to repeat the previously announced headliners. The masked star Marshmello and the best world DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike will also be present. Fans of the drum and bass genre will surely be pleased by Turno, while supporters of the trance style will be thrilled by the performance of the German icon Paul van Dyk. The icing on the cake will be a set from one of the icons of dark industrial techno, the mysterious producer SNTS.
Christmas in rhythm: One-day tickets and advantageous packages available soon
From November 27, popular one-day tickets will be available. As for the four-day tickets, the organizers report that the 4th wave of pre-sales is nearly sold out. From the beginning of December, advantageous Christmas packages will also be available, in which buyers will receive a voucher for festival merchandise worth 400 CZK with the purchase of two standard four-day tickets. “Christmas packages are a huge hit every year, and we expect a lot of interest this year as well. You definitely won't find tickets cheaper, so we recommend not to delay your purchase,” added marketing director Beata Gillová.
