Covers the Vista venue (a revitalised lakeside site of over 46,000 m² with walking and cycling paths, swimming, SUP, kayak, canoe and sailing nearby), the idea of arriving in the afternoon rather than just for the evening concert, and each day's identity — Friday's modern take on a "veselica" with Poskočni muzikanti, Polkaholiki and Til Čeh in Petelini plus a DJ set; Saturday's World Top Model Slovenia, Balkans, Cyprus & Dubai final (18:30–20:00), the main concert block after 20:00 with Magnifico, Pero Lovšin and Orlek, and a SkyDance LED-drone show; Sunday's family day tracing Slovenian folk-pop from Alfi Nipič (with Avseniki from 1974; "Silvestrski poljub", 1971), Slovenski muzikantje (founded 1965, ~6,000 performances) and Brane Klavžar through to Gadi, Ansambel Banovšek, Vikend, Spev and Šepet, alongside a firefighters' water show. Also notes food trucks across the weekend and the wet-weather plan (festival tent / covered stage and part of the area).
