Some of the stages are outdoors but also include some intimate indoor venues which includes the Main Stage that, according to the site, can engage an audience of 25 000, as well as smaller stages that can hold an audience of some hundreds.

Also in the list of acts are Tame Impala, an  Australian band that started as a solo project for Kevin Parker in 2007 quickly has become one of the biggest names in Alternative rock as well as German electronic music pioneer Modeselektor and Japanese-American indie rock icon Mitski.
