YOU!WHO?WHO!
PROGRESSIVE THEATRICAL FOLK
A musical-cabaret, non-activist boyband fueled by chaos, charisma, and a love for the absurd. With their wild blend of trap, folk, rock, and rural poetry, they sweep the audience into a whirlwind of energy, sound, and storytelling. They’re in constant conversation—with each other and with the crowd—while unleashing outrageous, dissonant instrumental and vocal solos.
When the schnapps start flowing and inhibitions vanish, the line between performers and audience dissolves. What begins as a concert morphs into an unforgettable communal bacchanal—or maybe it never ends at all. Get ready for a wild cocktail of satire, spontaneity, and lunacy!

TRIO KATASTROFA
SCANDI-BALKAN FOLK-PUNK
"Trio Katastrofa is like a shinkansen on an unstable track, which runs in such a way that you’ll never want to get off."
The band consists of the Swedish violinist Sofia Hogstadius (specialized in Bulgarian folk music), Swedish-Chilean percussionist Stefan Hedborg and Slovenian accordionist Matija Solce, while everyone is involved vocally as well.
“(...) Scorpions at the Moscow stadium would’ve been green with envy if they’d witnessed such performance. What the Trio showed was a demonstration of perfect communication with the audience, as well as a demonstration of musical mastery, the joy of which can make you laugh.”

FEKETE SERETLEK
PROGRESSIVE THEATRICAL FOLK
From polyrhythmic Macedonian tune to Czech-flavored salsa, Orwellian post-apocalyptic anthems to Bulgarian disco, Russian-klezmer lullabies to English death-waltzes.

One minute, you’re in a dark cabaret; the next, you’re swept into a wild dance party that feels like it might never end. Fekete Seretlek doesn’t just play for audiences - they pull them into their chaotic, mystical, dark and playful world, full of unexpected twists.

GRAD GORI!
MUSICAL TALES
The band Grad gori!, wich means ‘Castle on Fire!’, retain fondness for combining disparate styles, mixing folklore with a distinctly pop sensibility. The result is a kind of “castle” music that presents Slovenian, Swedish and Czech folk stories of princesses kidnapped, cursed or saved – the heroines of all times. But don’t worry, it’s not only romantic: there is also humour and cabaret. And despite their folkloric origin and atmosphere, the songs examine the familiar problems of our own society.
The quality of Brina Vogelnik’s sometimes boisterous, sometimes confiding voice is well served by the sensitive performances by Drnovšek and Solce on accordion, ably aided by Celarec.
