MENT Ljubljana is inviting European bands, solo performers, live acts and djs with live experience to perform at its eleventh edition taking place in Slovenia, 12–15 February 2025. 

MENT Ljubljana is one of the leading showcase festivals and music conferences in Central and Eastern Europe and the largest event of its kind in the region. It is an award-winning festival of music discoveries, facilitating, in symbiosis with the conference, the presentation of music performers from all over Europe in front of international music professionals and audiences.

Showcase festivals differ from traditional music festivals in that a large portion of the audience consists of music industry professionals. These festivals can serve as a springboard to the international music market when executed well. Such festivals are an important component in the export of Icelandic music.

If you intend to promote a music project at a showcase festival, it is crucial to thoroughly research the festival’s policy and set clear goals for participation. It is also necessary that the music project is export-ready.

We highly recommend that artists attending the festival bring a manager or at least someone who can fulfill that role at the festival.
