Starlight Festival held its debut edition at the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt this past weekend (Oct. 9, 10).
So I just read about this new electronic music festival in Egypt, the Starlight Festival, and it's honestly surprising how big it got.
How did they pull it off?
Right? They had over sixty international artists and fans from one hundred and fourteen countries.
That's unexpected.
I mean, Egypt has such a rich history, but I wouldn't have linked it to a modern electronic festival.
Exactly.
The Great Pyramids were the backdrop.
It's like marrying ancient wonder with contemporary culture.
It's fascinating, but doesn't that risk overshadowing the music itself? I wonder if the setting distracts from the performances.
That's a good point.
The founder emphasized that the location should enhance the experience, not replace it.
I get that, but how can you ensure that? You might end up just gazing at the pyramids instead of enjoying the music.
They used elaborate visual productions to connect the music and the setting, so it's designed to create a cohesive experience.
That sounds amazing.
I can see how that could work.
