The story

Black Sea Arena Festival in Shekvetili

Black Sea Arena is a 9,000-seat concert venue in Shekvetili, Guria, opened in 2016, hosting major international touring acts as well as separately branded Georgian festivals including the Batumi Black Sea Music and Art Festival and the Black Sea Jazz Festival. Which specific program a listing titled simply Black Sea Arena Festival refers to is not clearly confirmed.

Black Sea Arena is a purpose-built, 9,000-seat oval concert venue on the coast at Shekvetili, in the Guria region roughly 45 kilometers north of Batumi, designed with a retractable roof and rotating facade panels that let it function as both an open-air and enclosed venue depending on conditions.
