Electronic music festivals are constantly evolving. Today, audiences are no longer searching only for a lineup—they are looking for a complete world to step into. This summer, Cafe De Anatolia Festival is creating exactly that: a two-day immersive experience where Organic House, Afro House, art, gastronomy, lifestyle, and automotive culture meet in one unique destination.
Taking place on July 10–11 at Aleksandar Park in Vinica, the first-ever Cafe De Anatolia Festival in Macedonia is set to introduce a completely new festival concept, including a groundbreaking collaboration with Autowelt and the first-ever Car Expo inside a music festival in North Macedonia.
A New Festival Experience Where Music Meets Lifestyle
After building a global reputation through events and performances in destinations such as Dubai, Santorini, Istanbul, Malta, and Bucharest, as well as a highly successful showcase in Skopje, Cafe De Anatolia is bringing its signature atmosphere home with its first two-day festival in Macedonia.
Known for its distinctive blend of traditional influences and modern electronic sounds, Cafe De Anatolia has become one of the most recognizable names in the Organic House scene. The brand has created a unique cultural identity that connects music lovers around the world through emotional melodies, ethnic elements, and cinematic soundscapes.
Now, that philosophy is expanding beyond music.
The First Car Expo at a Festival in Macedonia
One of the biggest highlights of the festival will be the exclusive collaboration between Cafe De Anatolia and Autowelt, introducing a never-before-seen concept for the Macedonian festival scene.
For the first time, a music festival in North Macedonia will feature a dedicated Car Expo zone, where visitors will have the opportunity to explore premium vehicles and experience the connection between automotive design, innovation, and lifestyle culture.
The collaboration reflects a growing global trend where music events are becoming more than concerts—they are platforms where fashion, technology, art, and luxury experiences come together.
At Cafe De Anatolia Festival, guests will not only dance to world-class electronic music but also discover a carefully curated environment where sound and design exist side by side.
Two Days of Music, Art and Immersive Experiences
The festival program will unfold across two nights, bringing together international and regional artists including Beard2Beard, Dr. Saba, Rex Stax, Jizabja, Keto Van Harum, Billy Esteban, and Rialians On Earth.
But the experience goes far beyond DJ performances.
Visitors will discover interactive art moments, face painting artists, tarot reading experiences, visual performances, creative installations, and unique festival zones designed to create a memorable atmosphere from the moment they arrive.
On Saturday afternoon, the festival will transform into a daytime cultural experience from 15:00 to 20:00, featuring free wine tastings from local wineries, gastronomic experiences, artistic exhibitions, and a festival marketplace/bazaar.
Cafe De Anatolia: From Macedonia to the World
Founded by the Iliev family—Zoran Iliev (Billy Esteban), Monika Ilieva (Monika Ilieva), and Nikola Iliev (Rialians On Earth / Nickarth)—Cafe De Anatolia has grown from an independent music project into a global electronic music brand.
Recognized internationally for its contribution to the Organic House movement, the label has built a massive worldwide community, working with thousands of artists and developing a catalog of more than 10,000 tracks.
The brand’s global journey has included major milestones such as its collaboration with Sony Music Publishing, promotion at Times Square in New York, and recognition from international platforms including Beatport, where Cafe De Anatolia was nominated among leading global names.
With millions of followers worldwide and billions of streams across digital platforms, Cafe De Anatolia continues to expand beyond the boundaries of a record label—becoming a lifestyle movement connecting music, culture, and creativity.
A Festival That Represents the Future
Cafe De Anatolia Festival is not simply another date on the summer calendar. It represents a new direction for festival culture in Macedonia—one where electronic music becomes the foundation for a wider creative experience.
From sunset wine tastings and artistic discoveries to world-class Organic House sounds and the country’s first festival-based Car Expo, Vinica will become the meeting point of music, innovation, and lifestyle this July.
The future of festivals is no longer just about what you hear—it is about everything you experience.
