The festival will take place by the Ionian Sea, on the outskirts of Europe, with untouched sands complimenting the clear, pristine ocean waters. The deep greens of the Ceraunian mountains towering over the location act as a backdrop for the utopian beach settings, emphasising the feel of the remote landscape.

The team has already begun to build on the foundations of ION’s unforgettable 2022 debut. As the performers push boundaries and our adventurers broaden their horizons, it only makes sense that we do the same.
