DREAM FEST 2026: four nights, 50 artists and fireworks over the Caspian

From July 23 to 26, the Caspian coast worked as a festival ground for four days in a row: Dream Fest 2026 took place at Sea Breeze.

More than 50 artists from Azerbaijan, Russia, Turkey, CIS countries, Europe, the United Kingdom and Canada took the stage — among them Busta Rhymes, Ty Dolla $ign, John Newman, Cheb Khaled, EDIS, JONY, Egor Kreed, Alessandro Safina, EMIN, Zeynep Bastık, Emre Altuğ, Jah Khalib.

The resort gives the festival's production figures: 5 547 people worked on it, more than 200 tons of steel structures went into the stage and infrastructure, the lighting was assembled from 1 200 fixtures, and the LED screens covered 470 sq. m. Special effects were run every evening: 400 pyrotechnic charges, 36 minutes of fireworks in total, fire shows, smoke, streamers and confetti.

A red carpet of 500 sq. m, made in the shape of a wave and in a marine palette, was singled out. More than 100 national and international media outlets covered the festival.

All the production figures come from the organizers' official announcement.
