This year's theme: Dolly the sheep
The announcement uses the tagline "Attention Is All You Need" and centers its theme on Dolly, the cloned sheep born in 1996. The copy describes a mature cell being reactivated as the starting point of another life, framing the concept around genetic information being rewritten — life shifting from "passive inheritance" to "active rewriting." The post is styled as a system message, labeled "MESSAGE 二" and "Main Quest Unlocked," signaling that another lineup wave is still to come.

Anyone considering travel should note that ticketing, pricing and the full schedule have not been released — only the artist roster so far.
