Saaremaa's I Land Sound Summer Festival Program Announced

The lineup for this year's I Land Sound festival on Saaremaa has been revealed, with more than 100 performers set to appear. The event will be held on Illiku islet near Orissaare, running from this coming Thursday to the following Sunday, July 19.

International artists include British DJ Lee Burridge, French underground duo Miroloja, and German DJ Nico Stojan. Estonian representatives include Ajukaja, Dr. PhilGood, and Britiimpeerium, among others.

The program is curated in collaboration with various local and international music collectives, media outlets, and record labels, such as Oopus, IDA Radio, Bulta Agency, Different Times, Klap, Lost Favourite Records, Hall, Estonian Funk Embassy, Tjuun In, and Uus Laine. Each partner will contribute their unique vision by programming different stages.

In addition to eight stages, visitors can enjoy a daytime program, a sauna tent with six heaters, a vinyl market on Sunday, a karaoke bus, and several gaming zones.

The theme of this ninth edition is "Play" (Estonian: "Mäng"), inviting attendees to explore a world where everyday life and fantasy blur. "Play is much more than entertainment. It is curiosity, the courage to experiment and the ability to forget for a moment how things are 'supposed' to be. This year, we invite people into a world where a completely ordinary moment can turn into a playful adventure. It does not matter whether you are a spectator or a player – what matters is being present and allowing yourself to be surprised," said chief organizer Paap Uspenski.
