Across cultures and throughout time, rhythm has always brought people together.
From ancient rituals to collective movement, music has connected us - to one another and to something greater than ourselves.
RHEA emerges from this idea - an energy we can feel and a force that connects us from within.
The name is inspired by Rhea, the Titan mother of gods and goddesses in Greek mythology, symbolizing the origin of life, energy, and creation itself.
A force from which movement, life, and cycles begin.
RHEA is a 48-hour non-stop electronic gathering in nature - a space where music, environment, and collective human energy transform into one immersive experience.
From July 24–26, an island on the Black Sea coast in Anaklia, Georgia will transform into a multi-phase musical journey evolving from night opening to sunrise transformation, from daytime energy to the final climax.
The festival is built around the concept of an ENERGY CYCLE - the idea that music and environment can alter perception, emotion, and the experience of time itself. The program is carefully curated so that each artist and sound creates a distinct phase, atmosphere, and energetic flow.
– Night Opening – Peak Energy – Sunrise Transformation – Daytime Groove – Final Climax
RHEA brings together local and international artists, extended sets, two stages, high-quality sound design, immersive visuals, and a natural environment into one continuous experience.
This is not just a festival — it is a temporary reality living within its own rhythm for 48 hours.
Enter the cycle.
The port city and Black Sea resort of Batumi is the capital of the Georgian Republic of Adjara. The Batumi Boulevard runs along the seafront, a park, and a beach. The 130-meter-high Alphabet Tower, featuring inscriptions in the Georgian script, houses an observation deck with stunning sea views. In the Old Town, you can see many reconstructed 19th-century buildings. In the northern part of Batumi lies the botanical garden, home to plants from around the world.
