FFFUSION

Hello Folks!
As promised, a bit more info on Fusion Festival.

Fusion Festival is around 10 years old now, and since 1999 its being organized by non-profit association “Kulturkosmos“. First thing should be said about Fusion is that its not a commercial festival. Well.. if you look around, you will see Pepsi Sziget, Heineken Opener, Positivus AB etc. The festival as a big commercial for its sponsors and the place to happily spend the year’s advertising budget. Of cause you need to buy a ticket to Fusion, and you can buy a beer on the site, but you will not see any single advertising poster there. The Fusion ground place is on the middle of nowhere, about 200 km from Berlin, on the territory of ex-soviet army military airport (thats why its written in russian and soviet symbols are all around). Festival is the only big activity in this region and a lot of local country side people are involved in the action. Part of the income is going to charity. Besides Fusion, Kulturkosmos is also organizing Theater Camp in August in the same place.
And then there is music, atmosphere and people… By the way, its not only techno.. all sort of music, cirkus, theater, orchestras and so on..
They say: Its a Tankstelle for your soul. Hard to desagree. And its exactly our type of spirit. After all, in some ways Space:garage was inspired by Fusion..
And, you see, we are more than happy to participate in Fusion this year. Its a big honor. Really.
The program for this year is online now.
Our warm advice - just be there.
Thanks.
Peace and Unity!
