Greg Black & The Bad Notion is an energetic musical trio that is firmly establishing itself as one of the most attractive blues rock attractions in Slovenia. An exciting feature of their performances are deeply felt blues tones, which they tastefully combine with the lightness of funk on the one hand and the weight of hard rock on the other. The resulting mixture regularly impresses a wide audience, and does not leave even the most demanding music connoisseurs indifferent. Whether it is the intimacy of a small stage, the spectacle of a large concert, or something in between, with their energetic and tireless performance they leave a unique mark wherever they appear.

Gregor Ftičar (born 1985) is a Slovenian jazz pianist, composer, and arranger living between Slovenia and Switzerland. He holds a master’s degree in jazz piano from Graz. He has collaborated with musicians such as Don Menza and Bob Brookmeyer. In 2014, he was a finalist at the European Jazz Competition in Rotterdam. He has released the albums Solo (2017), Lagamas (2019), and North-East (2023). Besides his solo work, he plays in groups like Eva Kess Group and Marjan Loborec Quartet.

Gregor Ravnik is a Slovenian tenor and pop singer who blends classical and popular music. He graduated in dental medicine and solo singing, but after three years of working as a dentist, he devoted himself entirely to music. In 2023, he won the Melodies of the Sea and Sun festival with the song “Torek” and released his debut album “Med nama” in 2024. He performs both on opera stages and pop concerts and is also known for his work with the trio Vivere.

Their musical creation could be defined as rock in one word, and more open ears will hear the tradition of blues, funk in all other genres, behind distorted guitar riffs, where distorted guitar sound gives impetus and Grizzly's sound image gives a sense of equality between all instruments.

Grob rose out of the ashes of the disbanded group Human Putrefaction. The band firmly follows the second wave black metal.

The beginnings of Gromka go back to 1995 and a theatre space called Teater Gromki, whose collective consisted of artists working in different types of performing arts. Gradually joined by various individuals, the theatre was eventually repurposed as a club. Gromka’s current informal collective comprises an eclectic bunch of writers, musicians and film enthusiasts. Not only a concert venue, Gromka resembles a jigsaw puzzle, morphing from a lecture hall into a cinema, doubling as a living room and then transforming into a theatre. Gromka supports diverse urban (sub)cultural and disregarded-music practices, encourages political activism and informal education based on the non-profit ‘DIY’ principle. Location: Ljubljana

The band Grooveland focuses on soul, funk, pop and jazz.

The Grosuplje Culture House is managed by the Grosuplje Association of Cultural Societies. The concert hall hosts pop and jazz concerts. Location: Grosuplje

Grounded is a festival of electronic music, critical thinking and activism, that addresses current social issues by combining the seemingly incompatible: deinstitutionalised theoretical debates, everyday social activism and progressive electronic club culture.

Theme in 2018 was Intimacy in the age of artificial intelligence, in 2019 Automation and Power, in 2020 Truth, in 2021 The State, in 2022 Responsibility, in 2023 Peace and in 2024 Racism.

Passionate ornithologists Nejc and Luka named the group after one of the characteristic bird species of the Balkan Peninsula, which, like the traditional music of this region, is slowly dying out. The five young musicians draw their motives and songs mainly from the rich heritage of Slovenian and Balkan traditional music. They aim to perform their compositions in as primitive a way as possible, with added elements of their personal styles. Their basic starting points are various traditional tunes, dances and solos typical of traditional and Roma artists, though sometimes they also employ tropes from the world of jazz.
