Set on the site of an abandoned winery on the edge of Limassol in Cyprus, Beonix Festival is a visually stunning festival that manages to give the feel of a big festival while packed into a much smaller space than that of festivals such as Creamfields or EDC. But did it deliver on its promise of being a fully sensory engaging experience, and is it worth adding to your festival season for next year?
With performances from over 50 incredibly talented DJs there was plenty to enjoy across all four stages going from the more chilled vibe of the Garden Stage to the heavy techno of the Hangar Stage. The headline acts were fantastic across the board with Fatboy Slim being a standout of the weekend putting on an incredible set of amazing new tracks and of course playing some of his classics with the energy going through the roof during ‘Eat Sleep Rave Repeat.’
Beyond the big names of ARTBAT, Tale Of Us and Claptone who were all tremendous, there were also some great sets from some of the less experienced DJs over on the Garden Stage where some DJs were taking to the stage for the very first time. For Beonix to offer this opportunity to young DJs is a wonderful idea to help them breakout and get a good start to their career.
Along with the stellar music, each stage offered a unique visual experience through the variety of stage design and the consistently diverse use of lighting. The main stage especially provided outstandingly unique lighting for each act and the lighting technicians were absolutely on point with the controlling of the effects delivering a jaw dropping experience.
The Hangar Stage offered a look very much akin to that of the legendary Printworks in London and had some amazing visuals with the walls of lasers down the edges of the room. Even simply walking between stages was a treat for the eyes as there was some incredible art up on the buildings around the venue that gave the site a lot of character.
Away from the noise there were some good spaces where everyone could relax for a bit with beanbags and deck chairs having been set out which was perfect for when you wanted to take a break. Along with that an excellent variety of food was offered at prices far below what you would find at most other festivals which was a nice surprise as ordinarily festival food is extortionate. Things like these really show that the organisers care about those attending and wanted to ensure a great experience for everyone.
Beonix Festival does a fantastic job in delivering a unique and captivating experience that has to be seen to believed. With brilliantly designed stages, awesome DJs, talented performers in very creative costumes and beautiful art there is never a dull moment as there is always something to capture your attention. It’s a festival that is doing an amazing job in developing as this year it had a remarkable attendance of 25000 people and for the first time ever had a fully sold-out day on the Saturday. If you’re looking for a captivating musical experience with some beautiful weather to back it, then Beonix Festival is the place to go.
