"With over a decade of experience in the music and live entertainment industry, and having launched several international concepts, I felt it was time to reimagine what a festival could be. Amare Festival is my renewed vision of celebration, one that blends music with meaningful experiences, wellness, a commitment to environmental consciousness, and the celebration of local craftsmanship through a dedicated village of creators. Co-created with my partner Alexandra, Amare carries the universal language of love and was designed to resonate across coastal destinations on all five continents.” — Swann Decamme, Co-Founder & Creative Director
