The DUA Fest will bring two nights of live music, entertainment and a unique atmosphere beneath the centuries-old walls of Rozafa Castle. The festival will feature some of the most popular names in Albanian music, including Alban Skënderaj, Aleksandër Gjoka and Shkodra Elektronike, alongside other performers set to create a memorable summer weekend.

The programme will also include performances by DJs Hermes and Irgen, Eri Dee, as well as the band “Burn” and Hektor Jubani. Organisers say the event aims to offer audiences an unforgettable blend of music, emotions and celebration in one of Albania’s most historic cities.

Shortly afterwards, on August 12, Shkodra will host the second edition of the Youth Wave Festival, organised as part of International Youth Day celebrations.

This year’s festival will move to the square in front of Kinema Republika, where around 2,000 young people are expected to gather for an evening featuring music, entertainment and activities focused on youth participation.

Organisers have promised new elements and surprises for this year’s edition, with the new central location intended to bring the festival closer to the city’s young population.

The first edition of Youth Wave Festival was held last summer in the tourist area of Shiroka. By moving this year’s event to the city centre, organisers aim to expand participation and establish the festival as an important meeting point for Shkodra’s younger generation.

With its combination of cultural heritage, music and youth-oriented events, Shkodra continues to strengthen its reputation as one of Albania’s leading destinations for summer tourism and cultural experiences.
