There is no stopping when it comes to the line-up of MasterCard Balaton Sound. Besides the EDM superstars, organizers have now announced prominent names as Jason Derulo, Pusha T and Ludacris as well as several names for fans of house, tech house and minimal electronica. Faithless is having a comeback this year with their Faithless 2.0 tour, Zedd, Kaskade and many more are confirmed to the already prestigious line-up of the premium festival. The 4+1 day frenetic party on the beach of Lake Balaton is held between 8-12 July in Zamárdi, Hungary.
Summer is coming and MasterCard Balaton Sound tickets are selling quickly. By now it’s not a surprise, considering the fact that this is one of the few electronic music festivals with a real lakeside connection, as about 2 km of beach awaits fans of music and summer right at the festival area. After the sell out of the Early Bird passes, organizers recommend fans still without tickets not to wait too much longer with their decision to come. Those who choose to party hard with their favorites in Zamárdi can not only get the 4 regular festival days, but also an additional Day 0 (8th July), featuring Tiesto, Oliver Heldens, Moti and more. This day turns out to be more than just a warm-up day as almost all venues will be in operation to give a good kick start before the „regular“ days. Day tickets are also available for Day 0, but these are selling fast and the Early Bird priced versions are almost gone, so again, be quick if you consider coming.
As MasterCard Balaton Sound is situated exactly at the shores of Lake Balaton, the biggest lake of Central Europe, during the day special and extraordinary water installations will mesmerize the audience and enhance the chill part of the day. Several piers will be built with bars, so there will be no need to leave the festival area to enjoy the summer days combined with music. However, those who are looking for a beauty sleep can choose from a wide range of accommodation possibilities in the neighborhood of Zamárdi. All accommodation options are listed at balatonsound.com/accommodation. The festival area itself will also undergo some infrastructural developments, so the party will go flawlessly even in the – hopefully unlikely – case the weather is not supporting the event.
