Regular parking costs 60 euros for the three days of the festival, while VIP Parking costs 120 euros for three days and includes a separate entrance near the festival area.

Sunny Hill Festival will once again pay special attention to the Albanian scene this year, bringing a rich list of well-known artists and new names who will perform in front of the public in Pristina.
Among the Albanian artists who will take the stage are some of the biggest names in local music including: Dhurata Dora, Ledri Vula, Lumi B, Lyrical Son, MC Kresha and Buta.
Part of the festival will also be other artists such as Eko, Sahati and the legendary band "Asgjë Sikur Dielli", who represent different musical styles and bring another dimension to the festival program.
Sunny Hill will also be an opportunity for the public to discover and support new names on the Albanian scene.
Bana Zahiti, Erëza Çerkini, La Fazani, Rreze, Sytë, Anitë, Art Haliti, Jolle, Ilo, Caboo and Uran B will perform on stage, artists who are bringing new energy to modern Albanian music.
One of the names that has attracted attention is Gjin Lipa, brother of international superstar Dua Lipa, who will be part of 'C4 Stage'.
His presence at the festival further increases interest in the scene of young Albanian artists and creators.
With this selection of artists, Sunny Hill Festival aims to reflect the diversity of Albanian music, bringing together established names with new talents.
Sunny Hill is one of the largest international music festivals in Southeast Europe, organized every summer in Pristina and bringing together well-known names from the world stage.
This year's edition promises a rich program with well-known names from the world stage. On the first night, the main stage will be led by pop superstar Katy Perry, while on the second night, Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi will perform.
The highlight of the festival will be the third night, when the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy the performance of world-famous DJ and producer Martin Garrix, who returns to Pristina as one of the biggest names in electronic music.
With the combination of international artists and the most successful names of the Albanian scene, Sunny Hill Festival 2026 is expected to be one of the most important summer music events in Kosovo and the region.
The festival was also attempted to be held in Albania and was only organized for one year, in August 2022, due to a problem with the field in Kosovo, but it did not have the expected interest due to the lack of a performance by the globally renowned artist, Dua Lipa. After this year, it continued to be organized in Kosovo, where it has proven more successful./ Monitor
