Music festivals are what truly marks summer – wonderful music made by amazing artists can be heard everywhere around the world. People gather around on these festivals to have fun, celebrate being alive, and just enjoy themselves as much as they can.

Če imaš rad dancehall in reggae, to poletje obišči festival Uprising v Bratislavi.

Uprising Festival is one of Europe’s biggest music festivals: enjoy the fusion of laid-back spirit, major players of the reggae community, and, of course, classic Jamaican food. It is truly a festival for all who want to just chill out and enjoy the good music.

Kdaj in kje se bo odvijal?

It will be held in August 2020 at the lakeside summer resort of Zlaté Piesky. Along with the chill reggae music and good food, you will be able to enjoy authentic street art, yoga classes, and many workshops that were made for all of reggae fanatics.

Kaj točno je Zlaté Piesky in kako pridem tja?

Zlaté Piesky is a lake and summer resort in north-eastern Bratislava, Slovakia. You can reach it in several different ways.

Do Bratislave najprej pripotuj z avtobusom, vlakom ali avtomobilom. Če v Bratislavo prideš z vlakom, ne pozabi izstopiti na glavni postaji (Hlavná stanica).

If you want to reach it with a bus or a tram, you can go to tram number 4. If you’re going to the festival directly from the main train station, buses no. 61 and 74, and trolleybus no. 201 will take you to Trnavské mýto, from which you can take bus no. 53 to Zlaté Piesky. Bus no. 59 will take you from the Petržalka Train Station to Rybničná, from which you can take bus no. 65 to Zlaté Piesky, and in case you just got off at the Bus Station Mlynské nivy, you can take the bus no. 78 to Bajkalská, and then take the bus no.53 to Zlaté Piesky.

There is also a night bus coming from Zlaté Piesky, bus no. N53, and it goes at 23:36, 00:06, 01:06, 02:06, 03:06, and 04:06.

If you have to reach the main station during the night, additional tram service is here. The tram goes at 03:00, 03:30, 04:00, 04:30, and 05:00.

Ali bo na voljo namestitev ob samem jezeru?

Yes, there will! But you have to reserve it in advance, of course.

You will be able to pick one of four accommodation choices, depending on which one suits you the best.

If you want to be as close to the lake and festival area as you can and if you like camping, Uprising Beach Camp is here for you. It offers you toilets and showers, close distance to the festival area, and regular cleaning of the entire camp, all for 17€ per person. The area is fenced and watched by security, and the gates will be opened on Friday 23^rd August at 8am.

Če želiš prihraniti nekaj evrov, vendar želiš še vedno biti blizu samega festivala, lahko prenočiš v stranskem kampu Uprising. Ta kamp je na travnatem območju poleg trgovine Tesco in salona vozil Porsche ter ponuja osnovno infrastrukturo, na primer stranišča. Prhe so v bližini kampa na plaži. Tako kot kamp na plaži je tudi ta kamp ograjen in varovan ter ga redno čistijo.

If you want to avoid carrying around extra luggage and don’t want to build your own tent, Hotel Tent Inn is a perfect fit for you. There will be two-person tents with two camping mats in a secured area, and you can borrow two blankets in reception for a small fee. Moreover, you can even ask the receptionist to wake you up for your favourite show! The prices start at 39€ (1 tent / 2 persons / 2 nights).

There will also be camping run by a private company Intercamp s.r.o. You can find more information on this camping site at their website https://intercamp.sk/home
