Festival Line-Up:

​

The public online voting as well as a preselection committee determine the final line-up of the festival each year. The committee is composed of local promoters, music experts and artists and selects the candidates they deem ready to perform at the festival. They will consider criteria such as originality, live potential and the overall diversity of the final line-up. The public voting counts for 1/3 and the preselection committee’s vote for 2/3 of the final ranking.

The Booker's Choice prizes are determined individually by each booker or promoter present. The Audience Award is determined via an on-spot polling station where festival goers can cast a vote for their favourite artist.
