Into The Great Wide Open has been a festival since its first edition in 2009 where things are done a little differently and experimentation is given space. Because the island and what happens on stage inspire both the audience, the artists, and the organization. This leads to innovation in many areas: on stage, in the work of artists, in social and technological aspects, and in the way the festival is organized: a large team sees the festival as a playground and laboratory, a place where they can express something that may not yet be possible in everyday practice: a temporary world, a performance of how things could also be.

The Great Wide Open Foundation aims to organize activities that offer a combination of disciplines, such as music, visual arts, and film. Into The Great Wide Open provides artists and creators with space and facilities to develop and connects new artists and genres to a wide audience.


Into The Great Wide Open sees that music is a wonderful prism through which to view the state of the world and wants to use the arts as an organization to also bring attention to, address, and provoke social issues. The festival is progressive, in artistic, technological, and social aspects, and serves as an inspiration for visitors, artists, volunteers, staff, and cultural entrepreneurs. Into The Great Wide Open is a cultural ANBI.
