13:30-14:30: Aleksandra Karpiuk

Through archetypes such as The Mother, The Witch, The Puppet, and The Warrior, she leads us to the heart of it allthe Wild Woman. Fierce, instinctual, untamed, she is the voice calling you back to yourself.
Inspired by Jungian analysis and personal dreams, this performance is not just musicits an invitation. An invitation to reconnect with your deepest truths, to embrace your inner wildness, and to step into your most authentic self.

16:30-17:30: DIAGO
Diago are a Newcastle-based pop band turning heads with their electrifying live shows, unmistakable charisma, and anthemic sound.
