Music and Cultural Festival :: Ancient Olympia
27-31 July, 2011

MCF is taking place in the beautiful and unique area of Folois-Kapeli, just 40km away from the centre of Olympia, looking down a 24.000 acre ancient forest and

situated close to the temples of Pan and Artemis.
Spread between 3 stages, MCF is a multi-festival bringing together 250 artists from 40 countries, with music ranging from Ethnic to DnB,  Dubstep, Trance,

Progressive, Ambient, Dub and Reggae.
On top of that, there will be a number of activities and performances taking place in or around the stages, including theatre, speeches, art and music

workshops.
In order to make this festival as pleasurable as possible for all participating, we have decided to offer a limited number of tickets, 4000 in total number,

sold through our website and our worldwide network of associates.
With a line-up that will surely satisfy even the most demanding traveler and a historical site set amidst nature at its best, we cant think of any reason this

festival should be missed.

Stay tuned and check here for updates: MCF OFFICIAL WEBSITE

interest, such as ecology, research on the electronic sound field and more

MCF ECOLOGY PROJECT
M.C.Festival is the first organised attempt to help promote and develop the beautiful area of Kapeli-Foloi, as well as the significance and protection of the

rare oak forest, being one of the rarest in Europe and unique in Balkan area!
Our objective, through “The Ecology Project”, is to minimise our environmental footprint (that we leave as a result of our activities) and to maximise the

benefits for the local communities in which we operate.

En tout cas very Good prog =)
The pre preproduction has started!

All map plans have been made, there is already water and electricity and everything is moving so that it's all ready when we start the production!

Big thanx to Vortex Productions (organisers of Milenium Festival South Africa 2000, Zambia Eclipse Festival 2002 and many others) from South Africa! Their contribution is precious and their name itself guarantees the best set up and the most functional and beautiful festival in Greece! In 15 days we will settle at the site with Vortex Productions and The Village (also festival organisers from South Africa) and the constructions will begin. Soon infos about M.C.F. busses will be announced and you will be able to book a seat; they will transfer you with absolute safety directly to the site!

A totally safe festival with all necessary permits in a fresh and sublime place of unique and magical beauty! All local authorities are informed and offer full support, helping us to make the safest festival that will be established in Peloponnese.
