MENT Ljubljana combines a music discovery festival with an international conference for the independent music sector. Concerts, discussions and professional meetings take place across Kino Šiška and a network of venues in the Slovenian capital.
Discovering new scenes
The programme focuses on emerging artists, distinctive projects and sounds spanning indie rock, electronic music, pop, rap and experimental practices. Compact showcases allow audiences to discover new acts while professionals can identify future collaborations.
Festival and conference
Promoters, agents, labels, journalists, venues and cultural networks meet alongside the concerts. This combination has made MENT an important platform for artists from Central Europe, the Balkans and the wider continent.
2026 edition
The 12th edition took place from 18 to 21 February 2026, presenting 78 artists from 26 countries on thirteen stages and welcoming around 700 music professionals.
