Awesome news! It blew my mind, indeed! 😍 Sunny Hill Music Festival will be held in Pristina from August 4 to 7, although the organizers previously announced that it will be moved to Tirana, and the reason is that they failed to get 17 hectares of land in the Kosovo capital for 99 years.... hmmm I can only say that the Sunny Hill fans are not interested in this at all, because it is only important for us to have cultural events in our city, especially after the years of the pandemic. The Sunny Hill Festival was held in Pristina for the first time in 2018, and then again in 2019. The 2020 edition was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Festival has hosted some of the world's biggest music names, including Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Action Bronson and dozens of other artists.  This edition of the festival will be held in Germia Park.

 The Albanian government has approved rapid Covid testing for Unum Festival 2021!!!! Located on the beaches of Shenghin on the Albanian Riviera, the festival have undergone “careful discussions” with the Ministry of Tourism and Environment and the Ministry of Health who have now approved the use of rapid Covid-19 testing for 2021.  Albania is the first county in the world to approve of testing for social and cultural events.  According to a press release, “The advancing technology and accuracy of rapid tests currently allows for results within 10-15 minutes, which is all that would be required to ensure you can enjoy the festival in the way it should be enjoyed .

Techno and house events now qualify as concerts following the ruling of a German high finance court.  Clubs now only have to pay a 7% tax on ticket sales whereas previously they needed to fork over 19% .  So long as a club’s average visitor is there for the music, said the court, its owners qualify for the tax cut.  Accordingly, the law now formally recognizes DJs as musicians and techno as music. CDJs, turntables and mixers are also now defined as instruments. Alcohol sales have no bearing on a club’s eligibility.  The judgement was handed down on July 23rd but only published on October 29th. The legislation speaks to German lawmakers continued recognition of electronic music’s cultural value; in 2016 Berghain saw a similar tax break after a court deemed it “high art.”  Meanwhile, bars, clubs and venues in Germany will be forced to close from November 2nd-30th on account of a fall COVID-19 resurgence throughout much of Europe.
