The eighth edition of The Park Festival returns to the City Park in Gostivar from July 28 to 30, 2026, and this year some of the biggest names of the Albanian scene in the region take the stage. Three days of live open-air music, in a city that has long known how to throw a summer party.

The headliner is Noizy, a rapper who has held the crown of Albanian hip-hop for decades and whose concerts regularly fill stadiums from Tirana to Pristina. Alongside him, the lineup includes Dhurata Dora, a pop star with millions of YouTube views and hits that spin across the whole Balkans, then Lumi B, Rilind Alimani, Era and Guapo. The fun behind the decks is held down by DJ Ginger and DJ Nick.

The Park is no new player - eight editions behind it mean the organisers know what they're doing. Gostivar, a city with a strong Albanian cultural scene, this year gets a festival that fuses rap, pop and electronic music in one place, under an open sky and among the greenery of the city park. Capacity is limited, which at events like these usually means tickets go fast.

Tickets range from 1,500 denars for the phase-two sale, and are bought through mktickets.mk. Anyone who wants to catch this lineup in one place doesn't have much reason to wait - three nights, a dozen performers and one of the most visited summer festivals in the western part of Macedonia.
