Amazing festival with performers as far away as Japan and Australia. The settings were breathtaking for the stages, lush green rolling meadows, could not have been any more perfect. But please BG organisers pay more attention to the supply of information aspects,things like programmes, plain multi language maps to the stages, and the transport schedules/information were nearly non-existent! This has big potential to be a world class concert, i,m almost sure! But what a great and amazing concert in an amazing beautiful place!
