Taking place between September 25th – 28th at the Radisson Collection Hotel, Bodrum, Turkey, Tales of Arcadia unveils the lineup for its fine art and music festival programming. A highly curated narrative-driven journey blending audio, visual, and ritual experiences with breathtaking locations. This year’s lineup features visionary artists, boundary-pushing musicians, and multidisciplinary creators whose work explores the intersection of music, art, and culture.
Tales of Arcadia’s music programming sees Guy J, Super Flu, Santi & Tuğçe, Depart, alko, Austin Ato, Aytek Dorken, Corn & Cotton, DIBIDABO, Mike Spirit, Nohan, Tuba Twooz, Veronika Fleyta, and Yaaz b2b Zoe Dona announced as part of the lineup. From Guy J’s hypnotic progressive journeys to Super Flu’s experimental house grooves, the lineup promises a dynamic range of performances tailored for both introspective moments and dancefloor elevation.
Fedor Sarokvasha (Tales of Arcadia Festival, Founder): “We curate a lineup that avoids commercial sounds, creating an atmosphere where people stay present, not distracted by phones, but fully immersed on the dance floor. That energy feeds back to the artists, making every set unforgettable. And all of this happens in one of the most underrated natural gems, Turkey’s Muğla Province. With its crystal-clear waters, pine forests, and a stunning coastline, it’s a true privilege to host our guests in such a breathtaking environment. We’ve noticed how art content is influencing our guests. It’s like a first portal or touch point for them to feel different and excited when they first come to the festival. Art has the power to open your soul, and your inner child starts talking. And each year, we build an impressive art playground for that child.”
As part of the festival’s art program, attendees will have the opportunity to explore a range of installations, including an open-air art gallery and a unique underwater gallery, both presented by the Hidden Elements art collective. The underwater gallery, accessible by snorkeling, is dedicated to the Myth of Kara Ada (Black Island) and features works created in collaboration with artist and sculptor Onur Çanka.
The open-air art gallery is an art installation in its own right, showcasing selected works from the local fine art community. These pieces are winners of the annual open call organised by the festival. The gallery will also feature live art performances throughout the event. On the festival’s closing day, a featured painter will transform the existing installation into an entirely new work, marking a dynamic end to the exhibition.
One of the most unique and transformative experiences of the Tales of Arcadia journey is the Healing Resonance Portal, a space guided by a handpicked team of renowned healers from around the world. Designed to nourish both body and soul, this sanctuary offers practices including live sound healing concerts in the form of lying-down meditations, Kundalini and Naad yoga sessions, ecstatic and shamanic dance journeys, ethnic song circles, and powerful drum circles. These grounding and uplifting experiences invite participants to reconnect with themselves and the collective, opening pathways for inner harmony and release.
The festival’s performance art program features a showcase of circus and flow arts, presented by an international team including the world star of the flow art, Gustavo Ollitta. Through displays of fire performance, acrobatics, and LED light choreography, these artists bring moments of intensity and beauty to the festival atmosphere.
Guests of Tales of Arcadia also have complimentary access to the Radisson Collection Hotel’s facilities including beach, outdoor and indoor pools, a beach restaurant serving Mediterranean and international cuisine, a hotel restaurant and bar, spa (gym, heated indoor pool, sauna, and steam room) use of basketball, padel, and tennis courts, and beach volleyball.
