Going on since 2008, GodiBodi Festival is organised by Celinka Agency and is led by the agency's artistic director (otherwise a versatile and much sought after accordionist) Janez Dovč. The festival is predominantly taking place in Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station, with some of its events also happening in Kino Šiška, Celica Hostel and the Festival Hall in Pionirski dom. Its programme is made up of Slovene and foreign artists that mainly work in the field of world music, accompanied by some artists of other musical directions and a rich range of by-festival activities.

The festival's name, which is a word play that could be roughly translated into play-be, was first used in 2009. The festival then became somewhat bigger, evolving together with the young agency itself, whose proteges manned the festival's line-up. Some of the focus was also shifted to other festival dimensions, introducing an auction of unique, in situ recorded and designed albums that featured the concerts themselves. This was accompanied by an exhibition of the previous work done by the album-designing artists. A year later, the festival again broadened its scope and besides presenting musicians from the Celinka label, they also invited foreign guests, continued with the auction concept and organised some workshops, jam sessions and a photography exhibition.

Some musicians that appeared on Godibodi Festival's stage are: Brina, Aritmija, Vasko Atanasovski, Jararaja, Kisha, Ba-rock, Bilbi, Korjander, Brencl Banda, Aleš Hadalin and Robert Jukič & Kramp, Eszter Horgas, Ariel Cubria, Chirs Garrick & John Etheridge and Simone Zacchini.
