Slovenian Hip-Hop History Takes Center Stage at FestiVala Music Festival

Slovenia's national radio station Val 202 is once again partnering with Kino Šiška to present FestiVala, a music festival celebrating Slovenian artists. Following last year's successful one-day event at Križanke, which featured emerging talents like Joker Out, MRFY, and Koala Voice, this year's festival is expanding in scope and location.

FestiVala 202, now in its second year, will take place over two days on the plaza in front of Kino Šiška, with indoor performances planned in case of rain. This year's theme delves into the rich history of Slovenian hip-hop, offering a platform to explore and showcase the genre's evolution within the country.

Borja Močnik, co-curator of the festival program and known as DJ Borka, expressed the goal of the event: "If visitors discover something new that excites them, we have achieved our goal." The festival aims to introduce audiences to both established and emerging artists within the Slovenian hip-hop scene, providing a comprehensive look at its past and present.
