According to the quoted source, the festival will take place on the esplanade of the Urban Culture Centre in the Central Park of Cluj-Napoca, which will be transformed, with the help of an impressive logistics of catwalk, sound, light and LED screens, into a superb outdoor amphitheatre, surrounded by the imposing building of the Casino and the historic Artesian Fountain, arranged in 1897 and inspired by the buildings of the famous Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam.
