Diskoteka Festival, the biggest festival in Europe dedicated to the 80s-90s music, whose lineup includes more than 50 music stars of that period, has a budget of EUR 1.5 million, local Wall-street.ro reported. About half of this amount, namely EUR 786,000, is for paying the artists.

The organizers mentioned that they removed any form of political or administrative involvement, the budget for the first edition of the Diskoteka Festival being 100% private.

The three-day festival, which will have its first edition this year, is expected to attract about 40,000 spectators per day. The organizers said they sold 21,000 passes so far.

Diskoteka Festival will be organized in Timisoara, in Western Romania, between May 31 and June 2, 2019. The lineup includes famous artists of the 80s and 90s, such as Thomas Anders from Modern Talking, Jenny Berggren from Ace of Base, CC Catch, Alphaville, Sandra, Nana, Dr. Alban, and Snap.
