Since it’s 2012 inception, Dimensions Festival has earned worldwide acclaim for its forward thinking approach to programming, joining the dots between the eclectic electronica and underground sounds across four festival days and nights.

Housed in an abandoned ancient fort, Dimensions boasts one of the most stunning festival locations in the world, offering everything from daytime beach chilling to night-time exploration of unique stages found inside the labyrinth of Fort Punta Christ; Noah’s Ballroom, The Void, The Garden Mungo’s Arena and of course the 80-foot Moat arena stacked high with speakers. 

This year, there’s no shortage of heavyweight names headed to Fort Punta Christo.
