From 3rd February till 5th February the wonderful MENT Festival is taking place in the capital of Slovenia Ljubljana. It’s a showcase festival like the Waves Vienna Festival, so you can expect a ton of supergood small shows of upcoming bands + a few shows of kind of bigger bands. Ljubljana is a supercool city already to hang out (check it out here), but with this festival, I see no excuses why not to hop on the train and to go there.
Plus the festival ticket it also a steal with just 39,90€ für 3 days of music. For a bit more, 54,90€, you can even get to PRO Pass and gain some music industry knowledge too :)
And here is the 2016 Lineup for the MENT Festival

A few of them we have already seen, so we highlighted them.
We advise you to definitely see SAY YES DOG, MAKROHANG and FISMOLL they are brilliant. For the rest you will have to do your own research to find out if you like them, haha.
And our fellow countrymen SWEET SWEET MOON from Austria, will also show the movie they made in South America ->
which should be also quite cool.
So be spontaneous and get there, it will be good.
