About

Sound by the sea

Swing Festival was founded in 2021 to bring together Georgian and international artists, support the regional electronic scene, and create a space where music lovers share a proper festival experience on the shores of ancient Colchis.

The inaugural edition took place near Golden Lake in Poti — three stages, more than 70 acts, and a crowd ready to dance after a long season of digital-only nights. Since then, Swing has expanded to club takeovers in Batumi and Tbilisi while keeping its roots on the coast.

Co-founded by Tornike “Toke” Nikolaishvili alongside the Swing team, the festival puts artist support first: obscure taste, long sets, and lineups that balance established names with emerging voices from Georgia and abroad.
