“Which Festival?” Pärnu’s Beach Grind

 

Pärnu is Estonia’s summer capital for a very good reason, and any random night there will have nightclubs and bars open until the wee hours. But Beach Grind, one of the seaside city’s premiere summer events, is special. Why? Because of the artists. Everyone will be there, from Tommy Cash to NOËP.

A good, old-fashioned outdoor venue with three stages full of top musicians and bands from the late afternoon till the early morning will guarantee that you’ll find something you’ll love regardless of your particular musical tastes. From the US and UK to Sweden, Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Italy, artists are coming from far and wide to add a monstrously diverse lineup for the two-day festival.

The first night, this Friday, will have Estonia’s Liis Lemsalu, Tommy Cash, nublu, NOËP, MTV award-winners Bedwetters, a special techno set by Merimell, and many more. The second night will see 5MIINUST and Smilers, Gentlemen’s Club, Bombossa Brothers, and several others on the stages.

Food and beverage will of course be available on site, and we suggest arriving early to explore Pärnu and the fabulous beach promenade, as well as the charming Old Town. Each night after the concerts are over, there will be afterparties located throughout the city.

Pärnu is easily accessible from anywhere in Estonia by bus. For Beach Grind’s full programme, and tickets, look here.
