Fans of ‘open air’ music festivals will not have the opportunity to participate in the Vip In Music Festival this year. There is no need for panic, as the fourth edition of the festival, which will take place again this June in Zagreb, has been renamed to T-Mobile In Music Festival in honor of the ‘magenta’ operator from whose coffers the most funds will flow to the organizers.
The interest of sponsors in such an event is not surprising given that it has attracted thousands of visitors in recent years, has been well covered by the media, and the selection of performers and overall atmosphere have led it to be listed among the top 20 festivals according to the British Times. However, the fact that Vip has relinquished its sponsorship position to the competition suggests that the stakes have indeed increased significantly. As Tanja Manenica from Multikultura states, T-Mobile has recognized the need for the festival to grow both in production and in the selection of performers. – Throughout the months, we will announce the performers, and for now, we can only confirm that one of the ‘headliners’ is the band Kraftwerk. We will add another stage, and during the two-day event, around 40 performers will take the stage – said Manenica. (Sandra Babić)
