The “SHUGA” festival has started, and with it some of the artists and performances that are supposed to be the most uplifting and energetic. But a few hours before everything started, it turned out that Milky Chance announced that they would be absent from the event – that they were one of the main reasons for its existence. In the production of the festival, they preferred not to demonstratively tell the general public, but to distribute a new line-up, and in the place where Milky Chance was supposed to perform, the rapper Tuna was inserted.
It was evident in the audience that many chose not to come due to the cancellation of Milky Chance, which initially also affected the general atmosphere of the entire festival. And yet, each of the artists who took the stage gave it their all. He did everything he could to make those who came happy, maybe for them and maybe a little less.
