From <strong>July 13-14-15-16-17<\/strong>, the transformative five-day retreat will bring its unique magic to the captivating backdrop that is <strong>Val\u2019s Place<\/strong>; high in the cool, green surroundings of <strong>Gialia, in Paphos<\/strong>, just 200m from the sea. Reuniting the community in a collective mission to break free and lean into unrestricted creativity and self-expression, the event promises to reawaken the senses through an unsurpassed line-up of music, workshops, wellness activities, pop-up food and drink stalls and more.<\/p>\n<p>And the 2022 edition marks the 10th anniversary of Cyprus\u2019 favourite summer festivity, with the past decade seeing AfroBanana grow to become the island\u2019s most impactful gathering, bringing together culture, wellness, community and sustainability. Simultaneously, its collaboration with the Bank of Cyprus, as Partners in Sustainability, strengthens actions for the protection of the environment and cultivates ecological awareness. With a well-earned reputation as highly trusted curators of meaningful interdisciplinary experiences, AfroBanana unites a tribe of loyal festival fans each year, who return not only for the consistently high-quality musical acts, but also for the holistic escape from reality, surreal otherworldly atmosphere and palpable feeling of connection, community and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with their position as principal purveyors of top quality music, the ABR crew \u2013 together with a hand-picked selection of collaborators \u2013 have put together perhaps the best line-up yet for 2022. This year will see an incredible collection of performances, across a diverse spectrum of musical genres. Headline acts include self-confessed extra-terrestrial, intergalactic ravers <strong>Henge<\/strong>, as well as brass band collective <strong>Balaphonics<\/strong>, returning to the AfroBanana stage after their unforgettable performance seven years ago!<\/p>\n<p>The infectiously joyous <strong>Brass Rave Unit<\/strong> will also be gracing the stage this year,as well as <strong>DJ Groundall<\/strong> the way from Japan and Z\u00fcrich-based DJ\/producer, <strong>Manuel Fischer<\/strong>.They\u2019ll be joined by local heroes from Greece and Cyprus including <strong>Monsieur Doumani <\/strong>\u2013 taking time out from their world tour to entertain the AfroBanana crowds \u2013 as well as <strong>DJs Dimitri Papaioannou, Chevy, BNC, Black Athena, Nok, Dan Lo, Ina, Patsas, Plasmatic, Bombasoul, Sixonesix, Mr.Z <\/strong>and Thessaloniki-based seven-person band <strong>Kapten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Aiming to introduce Cyprus audiences to diverse and promising new creators, while also supporting established names on the creative scene, AfroBanana 2022 is a co-curated exploration of eclectic sounds and immersive experiences. Friends of the festival have worked together with ABR to enrich the experience, with collaborators such as independent record label <strong>Skyvector Music<\/strong> and mobile party series <strong>Needless <\/strong>coming on board, as well as <strong>Sousami bar<\/strong> in Limassol, <strong>Melody Lab, Roots Crew reggae sound system<\/strong> and <strong>Animafest<\/strong>. New kids on the hip-hop block, <strong>Strawberry Jam<\/strong>, will be bringing their fresh outlook to the line-up, together with <strong>Barco Pirata<\/strong> <strong>collective<\/strong>, who first established the scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bringing all these pioneers, trendsetters and connoisseurs under one roof \u2013 or onto one stage \u2013 is hugely significant, creating a progressive community of like-minded creatives collectively working to level-up the scene in Cyprus. But it\u2019s not all about music. Taking visitors on an even deeper emotional journey, the team at <strong>Mind Body Spirit<\/strong> have also joined forces with AfroBanana this year, to oversee a powerful schedule of wellness workshops, showcasing a wide range of diverse disciplines.<br \/>\nCamping space will be available for those looking to fully soak in the magnetic allure and the enchanting setting, with festival fans encouraged to grab a tent and camp under the stars, or in the shade of fragrant orange trees. And while the campsite at Val\u2019s Place has been recently revamped with new improved facilities and everything you\u2019d need for the perfect five-day getaway, space is still limited, so campers are advised to book their spot early.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, tickets are now live at <a href=\"http:\/\/abr.interticket.com\/\">abr.interticket.com<\/a>, with a range of options available from the full five-days for a retreat away from home without leaving the island, to weekend or one-day ticket options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Name:&nbsp; <\/strong>Val\u2019s Place<br \/>\n<strong>Postal address: <\/strong>Gialia 8875, Paphos<br \/>\n<strong>Social media: <\/strong>Facebook @ValsPlaceGialia \/ Instagram @vals_place<br \/>\n<strong>Event Website and\/or Organiser Website<\/strong>&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afrobanana.com\/\">www.afrobanana.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Startdate\/ Enddate: <\/strong>13-14-15-16-17 July 2022<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start time\/ End time:&nbsp; <\/strong>Gates open at 14:00 on July 13 and close at 22:00 on July 17<\/p>\n<p><strong>Entrance Price\/ \u03a4icket:&nbsp; <\/strong><br \/>\n5 Days tickets -\u20ac60 (presale), \u20ac65 (doorsale)<br \/>\n3 Days tickets for Friday 15\/7, Saturday 16\/7, Sunday 17\/7 -\u20ac46 (presale), \u20ac50 (doorsale)<br \/>\n2 Days tickets for Saturday 16\/7, Sunday 17\/7 -\u20ac35 (presale), \u20ac40 (doorsale)<br \/>\n1 Day tickets for Wednesday 13\/7, Thursday 14\/7 &#8211; \u20ac15 (presale), \u20ac20 (doorsale)<br \/>\n1 Day tickets for Friday 15\/7 &#8211; \u20ac22 (presale), \u20ac28 (doorsale)<\/p>\n<p>Camping Per Tent \u20ac15 (valid for 1 to 4 nights \u2013 only accessible to festival ticket holders)<br \/>\nChildren under 12 get free access.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIF there are still available passes after the presale ends, then you will also be able to purchase Admission Passes at the Entrance of the Festival Grounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>For the programme (timetable) click&nbsp;<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Timetable_afrobanana.pdf\">here<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>)  \u03a3\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9\u03c7\u03b5\u03af\u03b1 \u0395\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd\u03af\u03b1\u03c2 \u0394\u03b9\u03bf\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03bd\u03c9\u03c4\u03ae<br \/>\n\u038c\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1: <br \/>\nT\u03b7\u03bb\u03ad\u03c6\u03c9\u03bd\u03bf:  <br \/>\nH\u03bb\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b4\u03b9\u03b5\u03cd\u03b8\u03c5\u03bd\u03c3\u03b7: <br \/>\nT\u03b1\u03c7\u03c5\u03b4\u03c1\u03bf\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b4\u03b9\u03b5\u03cd\u03b8\u03c5\u03bd\u03c3\u03b7: <\/p>\n<p>Organiser Contact Details <br \/>\nName:   MARTHA GEORGIOU<br \/>\ne-mail: INFO@ALTERNATIVEBRAINSRULE.COM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The island\u2019s most unmissable summer event invites festival fans to join them for a five-day escape from reality in Gialia.
