FAQ – UNUM Festival



WHAT IS UNUM FESTIVAL?



UNUM Festival is an electronic music festival.



WHEN WILL UNUM FESTIVAL TAKE PLACE?



May 31 to June 3 2019.



WHERE WILL UNUM FESTIVAL TAKE THE PLACE?



Rana e Hedhun beach - about 3.5km from the centre of Shengjin, Albania.



WHERE IS ALBANIA?



Albania is located in Southeast Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula and Adriatic Sea. Border countries are Montenegro, Kosovo, the Republic of Macedonia, and Greece.



WHERE IS SHENGJIN?



Shengjin is about 70 km away north from the capital Tirana. It is a resort located in the Lezhe region - a historically and culturally rich area that has a lot to offer to its visitors.



WHAT IS SHENGJIN LIKE?



Shengjin is a relatively small resort with a population of about 8,000 people. The locals are nice and friendly. There are many cafes, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and ATMs around. There are also a port, police station, medical point, and pharmacies. The city of Lezhe is just 7km away, in case a more serious shopping, visit to the bank, hospital, etc. is needed.



In fact, the Lezhe region offers very nice touristic sights. For the history fans there are the fortress of Lezhe, built between the 7th and 9th century A.C. over the ruins of an ancient city, and the Scanderbeg Memorial - dedicated to the greatest hero of Albania. For the nature lovers, there is the national reserve and lagoon Kunë Island, where a lot of rare birds and fish can be spotted. And of course, for the beach enthusiasts, you have the Rana e Hedhun and Shengjin beaches to enjoy.



ARE SHENGJIN AND UNUM FESTIVAL SAFE TO VISIT?



Yes. UNUM Festival happens under the official patronage and support of the Ministry of Tourism. The event is the result of the close coordination and cooperation between the Albanian Government and the UNUM Festival team.



For the safety of visitors, Shengjin will be “closed” for outside visitors for the duration of the festival. The people with access would be the locals living there, staff, artists, press, and attendees - all having their respective wristbands to serve as accreditation.

There you can exchange your ticket/package voucher for your festival wristband and get directed to the place you will be staying at.



HOW DO I PAY AT THE FESTIVAL?



UNUM Festival is cashless, meaning you can’t pay by cash at the bars or food area. So how do you pay, then? With your festival wristband. It uses RFID technology, which allows you to charge money to it online or at the topping up stations at the festival, so you can buy drinks and food.



What if you don’t spend all the money charged to your wristband? Worry not. You can get a refund through the cashless system after the festival ends.



CAN I LEAVE AND RE-ENTER THE FESTIVAL?



Of course! We don’t expect you to not leave the party for three days :)



HOW MANY STAGES ARE THERE AT THE FESTIVAL?



There are three stages - Main, Beach, and Into The Pines Stage.



WHAT IS THE TIMETABLE/OPENING HOURS FOR EACH STAGE?



The Main Stage runs during the night. As soon as its programme finishes in the morning, the Beach Stage opens and runs until the night for the Main Stage to reopen. Into The Pines Stage runs non-stop throughout the whole festival.



WHAT FACILITIES ARE WITHIN THE FESTIVAL GROUNDS?



An amazing chill out zone with hammocks, pop up vintage festival clothing shop, small bazaar showcasing handmade jewellery and art, and body/face painting, massage, and yoga areas.



A rich food & drinks area with many options to satisfy all tastes - locally grown and bio wherever possible.



Many bars serving refreshments, cocktails, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and more.



A cool beach area with sunbeds and volleyball facilities.



And of course, toilets, first aid, info point, lost & found desk, topping up and charging stations.



HOW MUCH WILL DRINKS COST?



A bottle of water costs EUR 1. A bottle of beer EUR 2. A cocktail EUR 4.



WHAT TYPES OF DRINKS WILL THERE BE?



Wine & classic cocktails, mocktails, beer, liquor, water, fresh juices, smoothies, and more.



HOW MUCH WILL FOOD COST?

WHAT TYPES OF FOOD STANDS WILL THERE BE?



Grill place, pizza restaurant, salad & sandwich bar, vegan/veggie place, seafood restaurant, ice-cream & sweets place, vitamin bar, and more.



CAN I BRING MY OWN FOOD AND DRINK INTO THE FESTIVAL?



No, you can’t. Plus, why should you? The food and drinks at the festival are bio/local whenever possible and super carefully selected, to make sure you get the best nutrition possible to keep you dancing for many hours. And very affordable!!



In case you have special dietary needs, drop us an email at [email protected] to ask if we would be providing the food you (are allowed to) eat.



WHAT CLOTHES/FOOTWEAR ARE SUITABLE FOR THE FESTIVAL?



Bring your dancing shoes :) Anything that is comfortable on your feet and beach appropriate, meaning that these 6 inch stilettos you have in mind won’t do much in the sand. Get some flip-flops, too.



As for clothing - the festival period is the beginning of the summer season in Albania, so it can be quite hot. Sun protection is a must, don’t forget about it. Of course, there is always the chance of rain or wind, we’re at the seaside, after all. Bring a sweater and a light windproof jacket, just in case.



In order to make the best clothing choice, check the weather forecast prior to the festival regularly. Usually the three-to-five-days-ahead forecasts are the most accurate.

Yes, near the festival entry.



CAN I TAKE LUGGAGE/BACKPACK WITH ME TO THE FESTIVAL?



Small backpacks only. They will be checked by the festival security at the gates.



CAN I PAY BY DEBIT/CREDIT CARD INSIDE THE FESTIVAL?



Yes you can. You can top up money to your festival wristband at the stations provided using your debit/credit card.



WHAT CURRENCY WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE FESTIVAL?



Euros.



WILL THERE BE WIFI OR INTERNET ACCESS AT THE FESTIVAL?



Yes of course. Free access for all.
