The In Memoriam Prof. Peter Hafner Festival was first organised under this name in 2009, its predecessor being Alter-Fest that launched in 2005. At the beginning it lasted only one evening and its line-up more or less consisted of punk bands. In the years to come, the festival widened its musical scope, forming a more varied and quite recognized programme. This was partly due to the guidance and help from Prof. Peter Hafner, a local music enthusiast, DJ, culture activist and mathematics professor, who unfortunately passed away in 2009. This led to the renaming of the festival, which has since its inception been held at the Rdeča ostriga Club.

After the initial punk orientation and the bands such as Center za dehumanizacijo (CZD), the festival has gone for a more varied selection of musical orientations, from electronics to hip hop, bringing to stage some of the best alternative Slovenian acts and also a number of popular bands from abroad.
