The Project.

A music festival of epic proportions on Barasti Beach. Headline acts included R3hab, Bassjackers and Amtrac as well as lots of local talent. A massive, purpose-built stage with large-scale production and the HSE plans to go along with it.

Procuring and managing body glitter artists, airbrush tattooists, dancers, hostesses, competition winners and drinks specials while coordinating social media plans. It ended with three days filled with music, sun, fun and Smirnoff in front of record-breaking crowds.
