The 11th Heineken Lovefest will be held from 3rd August to 5th August and it is certain that Vrnjacka Banja will be the place with the best music in all of Serbia. The fastest ones provided their tickets on time, and as the organizers say, the accommodation capacity was completely sold out two weeks ago. It is clear that this edition has attracted the greatest number of audience so far and that we can expect top-class performance. Fire Stage will be the zone of the best electronic sound from the very beginning. World artists Loco Dice, Chris Liebing and Matador have the honor to launch a three-day show on the fiery stage.


Loco Dice was born on 10th August 1974 like Yassine Ben Achour. The artistic name was created by the fact that, as a boy, he owned a large collection of blocks and thus got the nickname Dice, and when he entered the electronic music field, he added Loco. Originally from Tunisia, he resides in Germany, more precisely Düsseldorf, he is the founder of the famous label "Desolat" and has been in the top of the world's best DJs for years. He started his career as a hip hop DJ and he has worked with leading names such as Usher, Ice Cube, Jamiroquai, Snoop Dogg and R. Kelly. He also collaborated with the cosmetics brand Uslu airlines so that his musical mix was sold together with a nail polish. Serbian DJ Vladimir Ivkovic has the position of the label manager in his publishing house.


Chris Liebing is from Giessen, Germany. Producer, DJ and the owner of the label "CLR" (Create Learn Realize) greatly appreciates his audience and regularly maintains contact via social networks. The ardent fan of the vegan diet, in 1990, became active at the dance scene in Frankfurt, where he opened the techno club Spinclub in 1994. The first publishing house "Audio" started in 1996, which, in 1999, grew into a well-known label "CLR". In his long career, he has accomplished a number of successful collaborations with many artists and those with Umek, Speedy J and Green Velvet have been the most noticeable. He performs regularly at clubs in Ibiza, London and other world locations, and he is a mandatory name on the list of the performers of the world's leading music festivals.


Matador comes from Dublin, Ireland's capital and the largest city. His real name is Gavin Lynch and his work is marked as extremely competitive in the world of techno DJing and production. The revolutionary live artist has a great reputation for versatility, never endangering quality. So far, he has won numerous awards and he is definitely one of the busiest techno performers of today. Explosive performances gather the audience in a huge number and, therefore, he is inevitable at all important music events, and when visiting the most famous world clubs - the crowd is implied. He spent his early twenties at cooking trainings in Michelin-starred restaurants and he says for himself that if he did not become a successful DJ, he would certainly have become a cook.
