Uprising is not just about evening headliner shows and late-night dancing. The festival gates open in the early afternoon hours, and it would be a shame to miss out on such a surge of daytime energy! Head over to Zlaté piesky early and enjoy a side program packed with movement, rhythm, and a great community atmosphere.
