The SOUNDSTORM 21 festival includes four main areas, BIG BEAST, DANCE BEAST, DWN BEAST and UNDERGROUND. BIG BEAST is the world’s tallest and largest stage which will feature many of the main acts throughout the four days of the festival.

As for those who enjoy music that is not as mainstream, the four stages at the UNDERGROUND area will offer them exactly that.
