Rakvere Funkfest will take place on Saturday, July 20 at Rakvere Vallimäe, where domestic artists such as Haldi & ans Flamingo, Arg Part ja The Teps will perform. ALIKA, Norman Salumäe and MARTA LOTTA sing Michael Jackson’s best-known hits in the traditional special project band. Liis Lemsalu will also perform at the festival with the band, who has specially set her repertoire to funk rhythms.
Funkfest’s after-party is completely extraordinary this time and will take place at Rakvere Bus Station. The bus station becomes a club for one night only. Separate tickets are not sold there, you can enter only with the Rakvere Funkfest ticket.
The founder of Funkfest, Johannes Pihlak, reasoned that in addition to the main program, freshness must also be kept in the follow-up program. “Turning a bus station into a night club – you can’t say it’s my childhood dream. But it seemed like an interesting idea as soon as we thought about possible locations for the after party,” explained Pihlak.
Kadriann Raud, communications manager of the T group that manages the bus station, said that musical experiences and spectacular festivals have been offered in bus stations before. “All this makes staying at bus stations more pleasant and invites people to use public transport services more,” added Raud.
Raud added that it is very welcome to give people the opportunity to look at the bus station from a different angle, and they immediately agreed to give the city people a place to party. Raud confirmed that no bus will miss a departure because of the party.
Because of the party, however, there will be one more night departure from the bus station, because one of the buses set up for the festival to bring people from Tallinn and Tartu to the capital will depart from the place of the after-party at three o’clock in the morning.
