Our Vision is to come together in one place to celebrate contemporary Persian music.
The concept of Roozfest is establishing an annual 1-day festival dedicated to Persian indie-rock and hip-hop music, based in Milano for the first edition and hopefully in other European cities for the next ones.
One day (which is the meaning of the word rooz) and many artists representing the best that today's Iranian music scene has to offer: all accompanied by a millenary culinary tradition reinvented in the form of street food.
For all Iranians, half-Iranians, people fascinated by Iran but most of all for all the music lovers out there!
A breathtaking venue will host a highly diversified lineup, a DJ set to dance until dawn and a documentary to tell the story of this magical rooz.
Some of the potential artists we are considering attempting to book for this festival include (but are not limited to): Abjeez, Kiosk, Mohsen Namjoo, Yas, Zedbazi...
Obviously, your suggestions and comments are extremely important to us and every single one will be taken into account. The number of artists on the other hand depends on how much funding Roozfest will receive.
To get as many people as possible to come to our Festival, we plan to find partners such as lowcost airlines, hotels and platforms like airbnb to make it easier for you to get here.
Join us in making our dream a reality and come and enjoy RoozFest!
We're three friends and we are all connected to Iran, whether by birth, family ties or simply affection and cultural fascination. We do this for work but mostly because it is our passion and we have years of experience in the field of media, entertainment & event planning.
We need this budget to start our project, but each additional euro will help us make this
festival truly unforgettable.
The sum raised will be used to cover:
- Operational
and logistic costs (venue, security, stage etc)
- Artists'
fees, accomodation and transfer
- Staff
- Marketing
(social ads, prints etc)
What you get is a day of music, culture and cuisine, plus amazing rewards to thank you for your generosity but most of all the sentiment of writing with us a tiny but significant piece of history, by helping us realizing our dream and transforming the idea of a group of friends into a reality shared and enjoyed by many.
All those who contribute (no matter whether you choose a perk or simply donate any amount) will get mentioned in the documentary's credits and will oversee the festival's progress.

When and which artists:
The timing would be approximately fall 2014 (for the indoor edition) or spring 2015 (for a glorious outdoor edition): it will depend on the sum raised, the artists and location availability, and of course, on your input, as your opinion counts during all the steps of the festival.
The line-up will be defined at the end of the fundraiser but all artists who want to reach out to us in the meantime are welcome to do so!
