LOOP STATION TOURNAMENT

Background

LOOPING CHAMPIONSHIP

We are excited to announce that the fifth day of our festival will be dedicated solely to the loop station tournament, which has gained global recognition in recent years as a unique style of music that combines human beatboxing and live looping. We are proud to host the world’s top looping musicians on our stage, who have no musical limits and will entertain and energize the audience with their performances. Participants will showcase their skills by creating Hip Hop tracks, as well as EDM, Dubstep and Drum’n Bass music and remixing them with a loop station live on stage. Their performances will be sure to engage the audience and get them dancing on an unforgettable day of music and competition.
