The Winter Days of Metal was launched in 2017 by the experienced team behind MetalDays, Slovenia’s biggest metal music festival. Danica Hall in Bohinjska Bistrica provides the venue for the three-day festival. Winter Days of Metal is not only a celebration of metal music, but also a real winter festival holiday.

First organised in 2014, Zasavje Noisefest International is an international festival of experimental sound and noise music that takes place over the first weekend in June in one of Trbovlje-Hrastnik’s disused coalmine buildings.
