If trance dance, ambient, dub, freestyle, or world music, is your favorite, this extensive music event will satisfy you. Spreading forty-five live acts out over three stages, plus an additional sixty top DJs, this three-year-old fest is drawing more and more visitors to the island of Samothrace, also called Samothraki.

In 2002, the event runs from August 22nd through the 26th, and as an added bonus, the full moon will be casting some additional magic and extra lighting on the exterior stages.

While the final lineup is very likely to have some changes, the present roster includes Antidote, Electric Universe, Etnica, Logic Bomb, Prometheus, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Tortured Brain, and Zen Lemonade.

To get there, most travelers will take a boat from Alexandroupolis on the coast, 29 nautical miles away. Although it is part of the same group of islands as Lesbos and Chios, it can be very difficult to get to Samothrace from either. Your best bet is from Alexandroupolis.
