Four Days of International Music at DREAM FEST 2026 in Sea Breeze

From July 23 to 26, the Caspian coast became the stage for four unforgettable days of live music, spectacular performances, and world-renowned artists at Dream Fest 2026. More than 50 performers from Azerbaijan, Russia, Türkiye, the CIS, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Canada took to the festival stage, including Busta Rhymes, Ty Dolla $ign, John Newman, Cheb Khaled, EDIS, JONY, Egor Kreed, Alessandro Safina, EMIN, Zeynep Bastık, Emre Altuğ, Jah Khalib, and many others.

Dream Fest 2026 became one of the region's largest music events. A total of 5,547 professionals worked on the festival's production. More than 200 tons of steel structures were used to build the stage and supporting infrastructure, while 1,200 lighting fixtures and 470 square meters of LED screens created an impressive visual experience. Each evening came alive with spectacular special effects, including 400 pyrotechnic charges, 36 minutes of fireworks, fire shows, smoke effects, streamers, and confetti.

One of the festival's signature features was its 500-square-meter red carpet, inspired by the natural beauty of the Caspian Sea. Its wave-shaped design and marine-inspired color palette made it one of Dream Fest's most recognizable visual elements. The festival was covered by more than 100 national and international media outlets.

“Every year, Dream Fest opens a new chapter in its history. We want this festival to become a meeting place for different cultures, generations, and musical traditions. Sea Breeze gives us a unique opportunity to create a world-class event on the shores of the Caspian Sea, where the energy of music meets the beauty of the sea and the atmosphere of a true summer celebration,” said Emin Agalarov.

As part of the festival tradition, the Sea Breeze Walk of Fame welcomed new stars. This year, Busta Rhymes, Cheb Khaled, EDIS, Emre Altuğ, Zeynep Bastık, Ty Dolla $ign, and John Newman received their personalized stars, becoming part of Sea Breeze's musical legacy.

Over four days, Dream Fest brought together global pop, rock, hip-hop, and Eastern music on one stage. The festival concluded with performances by EMIN, JONY, Lucy Chebotina, Artik & Asti, and John Newman. One of the evening's highlights was the premiere of “Вокзалы одиноких душ” performed by EMIN and Stas Mikhailov, as well as EMIN and JONY's joint performance of their hit "Fireplace"
