House rules

Kala is a space for people to connect through music and shared experiences overseas. We welcome people from far and wide with open arms, regardless of races, genders or sexualities, as long as they come with a positive attitude.

 

Here are a few but essential house rules. Please read through: 

 

• Be inclusive:

 

People at Kala are free to dress how they want, be who they want to be and love who they want to love. We want everyone to be able to freely be themselves without judgment. Please look after each other, treat everyone with respect, embrace the openness and celebrate together.

 

If you suffer or witness any sexist, racist or homophobic behaviour, or someone or somehting is making you uncomfortable or vulnerable, please let us know. The welfare team will be on hand to help but you can reach out to any member of staff. Bar staff, security, DJs, we are all on the same team. Kala is a safe space and we'll protect it preciously.

 

• Be open:

 

At Kala you will be able to enjoy a wide and eclectic selection of artists. From the biggest international acts to obscure selectors and unsung local heroes, this is a great opportunity for you to discover new music, genres and artists.

 

If you see an act you haven't heard before playing a peak time slot, rest assured there are reasons for it. We put a lot of care on the programming and the music curation. Step out of your comfort zone, your new favorite act may be waiting there.

 

• Be present:

 

Kala is an escape from the everyday, make the best out of it. If you are on the dance floor, put your phone away. Dance, interact with the people around you, let loose and enjoy the moment. 

 

• Respect the locals

 

Remember that we are here as guests. Be kind to our hosts, keep the noise down outside the music venues, and leave the place in the same or better condition as it was when you arrived.

 

• Respect the environment

 

Be mindful of your surroundings and look after this place. We are incredibly lucky that we have the opportunity to spend a week here enjoying gorgeous beaches and our favourite music so don’t take it for granted. 

 

Having fun can be sustainable. Don't throw away your cigarette butts, use the recycling and waste bins provided, refuse plastic bags & straws from local shops & restaurants, collect any plastic you see on the beaches, and help us keep this beautiful place in pristine condition.

​

Anti-harassment - The Pink Team​

​

Kala operates a zero tolerance policy towards any kind of harassment or violence whether it is racial, homophobic or gendered. 

 

Our Pink Team will be throughout the festival site, easily spotted with their bright pink armband. This team are a point of contact to our wonderful welfare team, if you ever feel uncomfortable in a situation, come to a member of our pink team and they can help by linking you assistance from our welfare or security team.

 

If you ever want to come and have a chat with our welfare team directly come to the terrace where you can have a chat about anything at all. 

 

We will take every report seriously and investigate fully, Kala is a safe space and we protect it preciously.

Getting around

 

 

Shuttle bus

If your accommodation is located outside the festival area you will need some sort of transportation to move between the festival and your accommodation.

We operate a shuttle bus service between Dhërmi and Drymades. The weekly pass costs only £28 per person and provides unlimited shuttles. You can get this in advance via manage booking (up to 48h before the festival) or at the Customer Info point for €35

If you book this in advance, you will be able to collect your shuttle pass wristband when you collect your festival wristband. If you want to purchase on site or are not travelling with us you will have to make your own way to the info point to get your shuttle pass wristband.

If you are unsure whether you need a shuttle pass, please check the accommodation map to see where your accommodation is located. Anything in Dhërmi is walking distance to the festival. Perivolos and Drymades areas will require a shuttle pass.

Shuttle times 

 

The shuttles will be looping continuously between the stops roughly every 20 – 30 mins. Shuttles will run from Wednesday the 31st at 16:00 through until 12:00 on Wednesday the 7th.

 

There are 4 shuttle stops between Dhërmi and Drymades, plus 4 on request stops where you will be able to get off the shuttle if you request so to the driver when you get on the bus. Note the shuttle won't be able to pick you up at those on request stops and you will have to walk to the nearest stop.

 

You will be able to collect your shuttle pass wristbands from the info point, you will not be allowed to board the shuttle if you have not collected your wristband ahead of time.

Alternatively, you can book a taxi to move between the festival and your accommodation. You can book an official festival taxi over WhatsApp on +355692391028. There will be two taxi ranks, one located next to Empire Hotel and one in Pirates Car Park (Shuttle Stop A).
