KOZA MOSTRA
Koza Mostra je najbolj prepoznavna in ikonična etno-rock skupina iz Grčije. Njihova glasba združuje rock, ska metal in punk z grško tradicionalno glasbo ter rebetikom – prevladujočim žanrom iz medvojnega obdobja – kar jih uvršča med najbolj edinstvene zasedbe na svetovni sceni. Od leta 2012 navdušujejo občinstva po Evropi s svojimi energičnimi nastopi, ki kjerkoli ustvarijo nepozabno zabavo.
Preboj so dosegli leta 2013, ko so z legendarnim pevcom rebetika Agathonom Iakovidesom na Evroviziji predstavili pesem Alcohol Is Free. Ta je postala mednarodni hit, simbol svobode in optimizma, ter prejela več kot 12 milijonov ogledov na YouTubu. Njihov prvenec Keep Up The Rhythm (2013) je postal večkrat platinast, sledila pa so leta intenzivnega koncertiranja in nastopov na festivalih po vsej Evropi, kjer so si oder delili z izvajalci, kot so Iron Maiden, Dubioza Kolektiv in Gogol Bordello.
Izpostaviti velja tudi priredbo pesmi Leventis na povabilo Mikisa Theodorakisa, družbeno angažiran singl Requiem (2020) v sodelovanju s Pedritom Erazo (Gogol Bordello) ter nastope na največjih evropskih festivalih, med drugim na Sziget Festivalu in Balkan Trafik.
Novembra 2024 so izdali tretji album Malaka (μαλάκας), ki z igrivim tonom in močno glasbeno energijo potrjuje, da Koza Mostra ostaja sinonim za vrhunsko zabavo, brezčasno glasbeno fuzijo in neustavljivo energijo na odru.

NEVEREND
Neverend is a punk-rock band from Nova Gorica. The band’s beginnings date back to around 2001, when a trio of local musicians started playing at nearby venues. Later, the lineup went through several changes – first with the addition of another guitarist, and later a trumpet player. Today, the band consists of four members: a drummer, the lead vocalist and bassist, and two guitarists. In 2010, with their track Smoke & Smile – a blend of melodic punk and reggae – they took part in the compilation Od Soče do Korna Vol. 2 (Mostovna, 2010). In 2014, they appeared on the compilation Punk Rock Val 2014 with the songs Kje je pomen and I Said Go. That same year, the band self-released their debut album Nothing is Complete, featuring 12 original tracks and one cover. The album was released as a D.I.Y. edition, while its digital distribution was handled by the Založba punk portala platform. Musically, it leans on California punk, occasionally accompanied by trumpet sounds. In April 2020, Neverend released their new album Binded, featuring 13 original songs.
