Dua Lipa's Sunny Hill Festival Transforms Kosovo's Image
The Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina, Kosovo, founded by pop star Dua Lipa and her father, has rapidly become the Balkans' hippest pop festival, drawing international acts like Action Bronson, who was arrested on stage for smoking marijuana. The festival has helped rebrand Kosovo from a war-torn, neglected region into a tourist destination, but questions remain about what the Lipa family receives in return from the government. The event showcases Kosovo's youthful energy and challenges its dark reputation.
