The story

Kala Music Festival is an annual music festival held in Dhërmi, Albania, known for its stunning coastal setting. The festival features a diverse lineup of international and local artists, creating a vibrant atmosphere. It has been running since 2019, offering attendees a unique experience blending music, culture, and beautiful surroundings.

Kala Music Festival is a 8-day electronic, dance festival at Dhërmi beach in Dhërmi, Albania. The June 2027 edition runs 3–10 Jun 2027. It draws around 10,000 people.

Announced so far: Carl Cox, Solomun, The Martinez Brothers, Ben Böhmer and Seth Troxler. Expect stages split between Electronic and Dance. The line-up is spread across the 8 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

At around 10,000 attendees it stays on the intimate side, which usually means shorter bar queues and a crowd that is there for the music rather than the spectacle. Everything happens at Dhërmi beach, in Dhërmi. Dhërmi · 0 km · about 5 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site. Offers camping areas for festival-goers including standard and glamping options.

Kala Music Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: June 2027 for this edition, opening on a Thursday and closing on a Thursday. It is a high-summer date, which is peak season for both travel and accommodation across the region. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Dhërmi are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Kala Music Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 9 nights rather than 8: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Corfu International Airport, check the transfer time to Dhërmi before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow Kala Music Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
