In 2026, the Sunny Hill Festival returned to Prishtina, regarded as the biggest and most important festival in Kosovo and the region (three-time nominee for Top 10 Best European Mid-Size Music Festivals). Launched in 2018 from an idea by Dukagjin Lipa, the father and manager of global pop star Dua Lipa, the festival was the Lipa family’s way of giving their home country a new destination for lovers of music and beyond.

Adding to the festival’s prestige were the artists who have taken to its four stages over the years: from pop acts such as Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, J Balvin and Dua Lipa herself, to urban artists like Burna Boy, Skepta and Italy’s own Mahmood, Fedez and Blanco. But the festival didn’t stop there: it opened up to electronic DJ sets and, of course, reserved a space for top DJ names from the global and local scene as well.

From 31 July to 2 August 2026, alongside the music, the festival offered stands of every kind: food and drink, artist merchandising, sponsor-curated areas with interactive installations, games, photo booths, immersive activities and quiet spaces — all designed to turn the festival into a cultural and entertainment village.

Our Tree of Light floor lamps, design Tomaso Schiaffino, were installed in the Artist Village, adding a soft light to the space where the artists could pause between one performance and the next.
