The promoter behind Unknown Festival has purchased an island off the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. UK company Sound Channel has teamed up with Croatian operating company Gratiosus to transform the idyllic island Obonjan, near the city of Sibenik, into a stunning party paradise. The project has been in the works for the past 3 years and would explain why there was no Unknown Festival this year.
The festival organisers plan to ship scores of artists, fans, equipment and supplies to the small island, ‘Our vision for the island of Obonjan is to regenerate the island and turn it into a truly unique concept, combining art and music, wellness, sustainable living, amazing food and drink and fun and creative accommodation, all on an idyllic island paradise.’
The announcement finally sheds light on the previously secretive promises made by the promoters, stating that they were ‘working hard on something very exciting that will be launching in 2016. A truly unique new concept and location.’
