ION Festival is a 7-day exploration of cutting-edge dance music of all shapes and sizes, located in the hidden gem of Dhërmi, Albania. Not just a music festival, but a destination holiday experience unto itself, we want to provide the opportunity for all to Dance, Explore and Connect in this new frontier, whilst providing incredible value for money.

Our programming allows artists to stretch their limits and play multiple sets across the week. This means they can reach for the corners of their record collections they wouldn’t normally be able to. DJs and punters alike are also encouraged to become properly acquainted with Dhërmi's unique atmosphere that includes outstanding food and drink, wellness, activities, breathtaking natural surroundings and much more. This means they have a full understanding of how to create the perfect soundtrack for every setting across the festival.

A collective experience worth sharing, ION Festival offers you the chance to extend your summer in the company of some of the finest selectors on the planet, exploring an authentic and unspoilt location full of life and culture in the process. Now entering our second year, we’re more ready than ever to further our artistic vision and build on our core values.
