SHIP festival in Šibenik adds new artists to lineup

The upcoming SHIP festival in Šibenik, Croatia, has announced new additions to its musical program, set to take place from September 10 to 13. Svemirko, TRAMM Trio, and Het Hat Club will join the lineup, replacing previously scheduled acts Turkish Kebap, Easy Freak, and Eva B. Csonka, who had to cancel their performances.

Svemirko, a popular regional indie act known for its retro synth-pop sound, will make its SHIP festival debut after nearly a decade of touring and releasing three albums. TRAMM Trio, hailing from Azerbaijan, will present their "Conflict of Generations" project. This performance explores the musical dialogue between two generations of musicians shaped by different eras, with Rahman Mammadli on electric guitar and his son Tural representing a younger, globally influenced perspective, accompanied by Elnur Aliyev.

Het Hat Club, an international collective formed by street musicians, will bring their unique "gyp-hop, maneleton, and turbo folk jazz" sound from Hungary. Performing in five languages, their music blends influences gathered from stages across the Americas with Hungarian and Carpathian-Balkan traditions.

Beyond these new acts, the festival boasts other unique offerings. IDEM will perform an exclusive, intimate concert for 100 people aboard a boat, titled "Potopi ovaj brod" (Sink This Ship). Additionally, Kevin Cole from KEXP radio will return to present a special vinyl set created in collaboration with We Move Music Croatia.
