MENT Ljubljana 2018
MENT Ljubljana, Ljubljana (Slovenia), 31/01 > 02/02/2018
MENT Ljubljana is a great showcase festival of fresh music from all around Europe plus and an international conference about music industry and creativity. So basically, it’s packed three days of great speakers and great music in few different venues in Ljubljana.
The team behind the festival are doing a marvellous job with it. From all the comments that I’ve heard, the people from the industry are digging it very much — the two European Festival Awards 2017 (Best Indoor Festival, Best Small Festival) that MENT Ljubljana won just recently are the great proof of that. The audience is embracing fresh artists with their open minds, enjoying new sounds and names — packed clubs and sold out last night say it all. Not rain (second day) or deep snow (!) (third one) could change that.
Also, not to forget the MENT Platform which helps young Slovenian bands to play other European festivals like Tallinn Music Week, INmusic Festival, Reeperbahn Festival, Eurosonic Noorderslag, Waves Vienna, Budapest Showcase Hub, WestWay Lab, Liverpool Sound City, Taksirat Festival,…
This was forth edition of MENT, but I’m sure there’s gonna much more great ones to come — already looking forward! :)
