Druga Godba is one of Central Europe’s most distinctive and long‑standing music festivals, known for its adventurous programming and commitment to musical discovery. Since its founding in 1984, the festival has championed less‑well‑known styles and traditions from around the world, presenting them alongside acclaimed artists and fresh contemporary perspectives. Druga Godba’s concept goes beyond genre, exploring the intersections between heritage and innovation and offering audiences fresh, unexpected musical experiences that are rare in this region. Its unique approach has earned international recognition and longstanding connections with fellow festivals worldwide.

 

Beyond the annual festival in Ljubljana, Druga Godba’s impact extends throughout the year with the Sogodbe concert series, a year‑round programme that brings boundary‑pushing artists to stages across Slovenia and continues the festival’s ethos of cultural curiosity and artistic excellence beyond May.
