Achiko Guledani, Vakho Babunashvili and Beka Japaridze are the authors of the idea of the biggest music festival in the Caucasus region. In 2009, the first day of the festival was held on Shardeni Street and continued on the territory of the Old Hippodrome. In 2016, Tbilisi Open Air built its “base” at Lisi Wonderland on Lisi lake.
