It’s grown to become Bahrain’s much-loved international music festival, and sits proudly on the national events calendar of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Owned, operated, and produced by Clockwork, a Bahraini marketing consultancy firm, the festival has seen more than 40,000 visitors over the last 6 years.
