Arsenal Fest održava se krajem svakog juna u Kragujevcu, srcu Šumadije, nekadašnjoj prestonici Srbije. Gradu najpoznatijem po autentičnoj automobilskoj industriji. Za samo nekoliko godina postojanja Arsenal se nametnuo kao jedan od najzanimljivijih, najrelevantnijih i najperspektivnijih letnjih festivala na otvorenom u Srbiji, bivšoj Jugoslaviji i ovom delu Evrope uopšte. Svoju posebnost, odnosno ugled jedinstvenog festivala kog obavezno treba posetiti, u moru ostalih u regionu, Arsenal je stekao zahvaljujući maštovitom spoju pažljivo odabranih izvođača iz Srbije, bivše Jugoslavije i ostatka sveta, sa originalnim i vizuelno fantastičnim ambijentom. Prostor festivala po svemu je jedinstven, a više decenija bio je nedostupan široj javnosti!
MAIN STAGE
Poseban utisak ostavlja glavna festivalska bina (Main Stage) smeštena u autentični prostor „Kneževog arsenala“, fabrike naoružanja iz 19. veka.
Main je postavljen na otvorenom prostoru okruženom starinskim zgradama koje su, u duhu vremena, izgrađene samo od crvene opeke. Sam boravak u ovakvom prostoru ostavlja utisak svojim nesvakidašnjim spojem savremenih zvučnih i svetlosnih sistema i specifične industrijske arhitekture.
EXPLOSIVE DJ STAGE
Nedaleko od Main-a je Explosive DJ Stage, jedina festivalska bina u zatvorenom prostoru. U pitanju je zgrada Čaurnice, odnosno još jedan živopisni istorijski prostor koji je pre nekoliko godina poslužio kao scenografija za snimanje inostrane TV serije „Titanik – krv i čelik“!
GARDEN STAGE
Arsenal vizuelno zaokružuje druga po veličini bina Garden Stage, koji se nalazi u „Zastavinoj bašti“, drvećem i zelenilom bogatom prostoru smeštenom uz sam ulaz u festivalski krug.
Tu su još i Air Guitar Stage, Silent Stage, brojni štandovi sa suvenirima, informacijama i sl.
Velika prednost Arsenala je i položaj festivala na svega par stotina metara od najužeg jezgra Kragujevca, uz istovremenu potpuno izdvojenost iz svakodnevne vreve i gužve grada od preko 200.000 stanovnika.
I brojevi govore u prilog Arsenala. Od prvog izdanja 2011. godine sa samo jednom binom, festival je već naredne 2012. godine pored Main-a proširen i na „Zastavinu baštu“, a potom je 2013. godine dobio Red Bull Stage koji je 2014. godine prerastao u Explosive DJ Stage… Već prve godine festival je posetilo je preko 10.000 posetilaca, druge oko 15.000, treće i četvrte po oko 25.000… što znači da sa Arsenal Festom 05 premašujemo 100.000 poseta! Zato vas organizatori festivala – Dom omladine Kragujevca i promoterska kuća Long Play iz Beograda – pozivaju na ARSENAL FEST…Arsenal Fest is usually being held by the end of June in the city of Kragujevac, the heart of Šumadija and a former capital of Serbia, most recognizable nowadays for its authentical car industry. Arsenal has proved itself, in just a few years of its existence, as one of the most interesting, most relevant and most perspective open-air summer festivals in Serbia, former Yugoslavia and this part of Europe. Arsenal has built its unique status and respectability among other festivals as a must-see event, by bringing together carefully selected performers from Serba, countries of former Yugoslavia and abroad and putting them to play in an original and a visually stuning setting. For decades, the festival grounds, by all means unique, was held inaccessible for public.
MAIN STAGE
Being set in an authentic landscape of Knežev arsenal, a military fabric dating from 19t century, the Main Stage leaves a very special impression. The Stage is situated in an open space and is surrounded by some old buildings made of red bricks. The visitor will experience an extraordinary mixture of modern sound and light systems and specific industrial architecture.
EXPLOSIVE DJ STAGE
Not far from the Main Stage, the visitor will found the Explosive DJ Stage, the sole festival stage that is set indoors – in a building called Čaurnica, another picturesque setting of historical importance. It was used some years ago as a shooting set for TV series Titanic – Blood And Steel.
GARDEN STAGE
Arsenal Fest is visually defined with three stages, with the third being the Garden Stage. This is the second biggest stage and is located in Zastavina bašta (Zastava’s Garden), a space rich with trees and greenery next to the festival grounds’ entrance.
The visitor will also find numerous stands with souvenirs, information, merchandize, etc.
The location of Arsenal fest is another huge advantage of the festival, because it is situated just a few hundred meters from the downtown Kragujevac, but is, at the same time, completely isolated from the tumult of the city that has 200.000 residents.
The numbers are also in favour of the festival. It started in 2011. with a single stage. The next year, 2012. the festival got its second stage – Zastavina bašta. The third one, Red Bull Stage was put in use in 2013, but renamed next year as Explosive DJ Stage. In the year of 2011, the festival had some 10.000 visitors. In 2012 it was visited by 15.000 people. In 2013 and 2014 it was visited by some 25.000 people. With such a progression, the Arsenal Fest 05 in 2015 had more than 100.000 visitors. That is why the organizers, Dom omladine Kragujevac and concert agency Long Play invite you to visit the Arsenal Fest.
