The festival Gora Rocka takes place on Šentviška planota, a plateau at the foothills of the Julian Alps. Established in 2005, it has managed to consistently attract more and more visitors (up to 10K), which is mainly due to the idyllic location and highly professional organisation, supported by a bulletproof line-up of well-established Slovenian rock acts and big names from surrounding countries. All this for a very affordable price, yet another of the festival's traits.

Besides rock music, the festival's other central purpose is charity. Each year, the profit goes to the local community, individuals, and charitable institutions. Since the festival's inception, they have donated well over 200 thousand euros!

Programme

The festival has hosted most of the big Slovenian mainstream rock bands such as Tabu, Big Foot Mama, Zmelkoow, Zablujena Generacija, Elvis Jackson, The Drinkers, Siddharta, Mi2, Don Mentony Band, Pankrti, Niet, Nude, and Dan D. There were also well-known bands from ex-Yugoslavia like Prljavo kazalište (HR), Let3 (HR) and Dubioza kolektiv (BA), various tribute bands like Hollywood Rose (HU), a Guns N' Roses Tribute Band, and Kiss Forever band (HU), as well as dozens of others. The festival also organises a public call, where emerging groups can apply and compete for a performance slot at the festival.

Alongside two days of music concerts, the festival also arranges camping and organises various sports and fun activities like volleyball, football, badminton, cards, frisbee, boules, beer pong, slip-and-slide and tabletop games.

#ECOROCK

Gora Rocka is a festival held in pristine nature; therefore, organisers do everything they can to minimise its impact. They serve drinks exclusively in washable cups of all sizes, mix coffee with sugar using wooden stirrers, and sip cocktails through special straws.

Rockers' Tree Alley

The biggest rock stars performing at the festival plant a tree every year. In 2023, members of the bands Laibach, Zablujena generacija, MRFY, and Slon in Sadež did so. With this, organisers aim to preserve the natural environment where the festival takes place. Through establishing this alley of trees, they give back fresh air to nature, without which there is no life, no food, no beer and ... no rock!
