Performing in front of a large number of people is always difficult, especially when you are the main man and all eyes are on you. All the while you have to be precise in measuring the energy level on the dance floor in order to create the right transition. The simplest definition of a “DJ” is that he plays music. However, things are more complex when you are facing a crowd and you have to control all the people.

Upon taking the stage, Diplo wasted no time in turning up the volume, starting a light show of his own and getting everyone on their feet dancing. Audience interactivity was pretty low-key at first, but it was clear that people came to dance and listen to music – and Diplo was giving them what they wanted.

Among the many lines he delivered during the evening, Diplo made sure to show his love for Kosovo, yelling “I love you Kosovo” several times, which absolutely got the crowd going. It felt like the audience had been waiting so long to get into the spirit of dancing and good music at Sunny Hill Festival – and Diplo certainly did.

Diplo had everyone in attendance on the closing night of the Sunny Hill Festival booming with the electrifying energy he brought to the stage like a true pro.

This was the return of Sunny Hill after three years due to the closures by COVID-19, which completely changed the processes of life, for a relatively long time. In these four days, as long as the festival lasted, the young people of Kosovo experienced something much different from what they were used to.

Also, for all these days, Sunny Hill Festival, led by Dua Lipa, tried to always push forward the cause of visa liberalization for Kosovo, as they see it as a great discrimination against Albanians. “Set Me Free” was one of the most repeated chants at the festival.

Meanwhile, along with the headliner of the night, Adrian, Rrrron, Bookie, Caboo, Vertigeux, Art Haliti, Jimpong, Labi Ramaj, Romeo Blanco, Burak Yeter and Regard also performed there.
