3 festivals decided to take the UPBEAT Pledge and we couldn’t be more happier! Mumush, Polja, Trefpunt, welcome in the UPBEAT Family!

Mumush Festival (Romania)

MUMUSH is not just a festival, it is a community in growth. It is a vision of a world we build together with nature. It is a place for self-expression & conversation. A place for freedom and creativity. A place where we can let go of our fears together to change ourselves & our future. We want to celebrate change & creativity through good vibes & good music, workshops, jams, conversation & chill.

Polja Festival (Serbia)

Polja is a non-profit, sustainable festival and “music colony”, founded in the spirit of collective action. It is organized by a community of artists, cultural activists, and enthusiasts gathered around the idea of bringing artists of traditional and modern folklore and experimental music to the local audience, seeking to create a perfect balance between tradition and modernity in the unique rural and natural environment.

Trefpunt Festival (Belgium)
