A Party in Every Neighbourhood

At Distortion, you can expect a world of exciting experiences and interactive activities.

Explore a kaleidoscope of sounds, colours and creative expressions that take over the city streets. From street concerts and pop-up bars to art installations and mobile dance floors, there is always something new to discover as electronic music, street performances and visual art transform the urban landscape into a creative playground.

The festival spans several days and blends both daytime and nightlife events, with different neighbourhoods each hosting their own dedicated party day. Distortion is not only a celebration of music and fun, but also a social experiment and a platform for change. Through collaborations with local organisations and initiatives, the festival aims to promote community, diversity and social awareness in the city.

Distortion is therefore much more than a festival – it is a cultural phenomenon.
