Due to overwhelming interest, a second concert has been added for the following day, though many fans were still left without tickets.
The event brings together the frontmen of both bands, Tomi Meglič of Siddharta and Grega Skočir of Big Foot Mama, who share a mutual admiration despite their bands facing off musically. This encounter marks their reunion on stage after a decade. Organizers have emphasized that the event is not a competition but a 'symbiosis' of bands that know and respect each other well.
Beyond the main performances, the organizers are actively nurturing the future of rock music in Slovenia. They have announced a competition for young, emerging bands to serve as opening acts for the SoundClash concerts. This initiative aims to provide a platform for new talent and ensure the continued vibrancy of the rock scene in the region, reflecting a commitment to fostering local artistry.
