Selly, organizer: "A festival is much more than just the artists performing on stage. We have all sorts of attractions: an impressive Ferris wheel, a basketball court, a skate park, a huge food court, and a 'rapstalgia' stage with old Romanian hip hop. People asked for this, and we are delivering. We even got a tram from STB, painted it, and it will have lights and a DJ."
The main stage has a 100-meter width and almost 1,000 square meters of LED screens. The designs were inspired by urban culture in the United States. There are two VIP sections, each the size of a football stadium.
Romanian artists will share the stages with major international trap artists like Travis Scott, Wiz Khalifa, and 6IX9INE.
George Carabelea, general producer: "We have 2,000 people actively working on the festival. The hardest part is the safety aspect, with 500,000 euros invested and 800 security agents".
The artists have special requirements.
George Carabelea, general producer: "We have requests ranging from beds longer than 2.5 meters, pillows filled with specific materials, special drinks, certain cars for transportation, to access tunnels leading to the stage without being seen."
A camping area has been set up for those who want to be as close to the festival as possible. You can either rent a tent or bring your own.
For those arriving by car, there is a 50-hectare parking lot with direct access from the national road to avoid blocking the resort. Additionally, 120 buses will run non-stop on the Constanța-Mangalia route to transport tourists.
"Beach, Please!" starts on Wednesday and runs until Sunday. Tickets are still available on specialized platforms or on the festival's website.
Tickets start at 299 lei for the first day, and 5-day passes start from 895 lei.
