SUMMERFEST 2024
Inside Stories
This year’s captivating theme, “Inside Stories,” transforms the festival into a vibrant canvas where emotions, tales, and the profound depths of human experience are painted in the universal language of music.
With an exquisite lineup of world-renowned artists, we’ll be transported into the heart of narratives that span the spectrum of life itself—stories of resilience, heartbreak, love, scandal, and triumph.
