NEVERSEA 2023, the largest beach festival in Europe, set to open its gates on July 6

Thursday, July 6, the gates of the largest beach festival in Europe, Neversea, will open. Celebrating its anniversary edition, the event promises to be truly spectacular. Over 150 artists and tens of thousands of fans from Romania and abroad are expected to gather on the Neversea beach. To ensure an unforgettable and safe experience filled with beautiful memories, the festival organizers, along with authorities, have taken all necessary safety measures to guarantee that the event will take place under the best and safest conditions.

Thousands of gendarmes, police officers, local police, doctors, and private security agents will be present at the festival to ensure everything runs smoothly.

As in previous years, Neversea Festival will be the safest public space on the Black Sea shore for 4 days and 4 nights. To achieve this, thousands of employees from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (including the General Directorate for Operational Management, the Romanian Gendarmerie, the Romanian Police, the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, the National Anti-Drug Agency, the Organized Crime Fighting Brigade, U.P.U. Constanta, and the Coast Guard) as well as local police officers will ensure that all safety measures are adhered to. Additionally, there will be over 700 private security agents at the festival.

The teams from ISU Constanta, UPU Constanta, and SMURD Constanta will be ready to provide support at advanced medical points and first-aid stations. ISU DOBROGEA will supply two specialized vehicles for transporting people and handling multiple victims, two small sleds for transporting people, two medical posts set up by ISU, three first-aid points, and a fire-fighting vehicle.

Over 1400 people from 12 countries are now building the largest beach festival in Europe

The production of the Neversea festival is on par with American movies: from decorations and architecture to the story, fantastic maritime characters, entertainers, dancers, artists, and fans from all over the world. For the 5th anniversary of Neversea, there will be 6 music stages and several music spots spread over approximately 110,000 square meters.

The main stage will have over 500 square meters of LED screens, 26 meters in height, over 55 meters at the base, and a 20-meter performance area. The concept for the stage is inspired by a ubiquitous element in the Neversea universe, the SUN. The necessary equipment for building the main stage was transported by over 60 trucks from Romania and 14 trucks from Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland. The assembly was carried out with lifting equipment weighing over 100 tons and cherry pickers reaching up to 40 meters in height.

Balkaniada is a new stage, and its unusual roof will be brought all the way from Germany, from the Opera Tents, to meet the needs of all the artists.

For The Ark stage, for the 5th anniversary of Neversea, an interesting production has been prepared. The 2D decor will be replaced with 180 square meters of LED screens to showcase all the trap and hip-hop artists who will perform on stage. Moreover, a catwalk has been included to allow artists to engage with the audience.

Daydreaming is the only stage that preserves its identity. Over the years, it has become known as the only stage from which the sunrise can be seen, making it one of a kind in Europe. The assembly began on June 15th, 21 days before the gates open.

After the completion of the 4-day event, dismantling is estimated to take place over 8 days. The addition of portable toilets will facilitate access for over 485 people, an increase of 25% compared to 2021. The water and sewage infrastructure, internet, and electricity involve over 25 km of cables and pipes.
