The music on the first day of the festival (July 19th) starts at 8 pm, but you are welcome to arrive at any point of the day, starting from early morning. Arriving earlier would be a great opportunity to explore the island and get familiar with the setting before the music starts, as well as securing a good spot at the camping area.
The music stops at 3 pm on the last day of the festival (July 23rd), which is the official end of KUNE Festival 2023.
Music during the festival days is played from around 12 pm until 8 am on different stages.
