MENT Ljubljana is a music discovery festival facilitating, in symbiosis with the conference, the presentation of music performers from all over Europe and beyond in front of international music professionals and audiences. The festival serves as a meeting point for artists, music professionals and music lovers.
IMPORTANT NOTES from the festival
We value thoughtful applications over sheer volume. Take a moment to explore MENT’s past and current programme, and ask yourself if your music resonates with the festival’s identity and audience.
We offer all performing artists a fee (based on a range of factors), as well as accommodation for foreign artists, basic backline, and festival catering.
All applicants will be notified of the results via e-mail (check Spam folder) by December 18th, 2026 the latest. But mainly in the September-December period.
