Primarily staging heavy metal music, the Paranoid Open Air Festival was first held in 2009. Organized in a collaboration by the Paranoid webzine, Novi KLG and
Veseli Dihurčki Cultural Association it was set up as a continuation of the Metal Mania Open Air that has then come to a temporary halt. As the Paranoid webzine has then had it's tenth anniversary of it's ..., they named the festival accordingly. It was held in Ljubečna pri Celju and has had distinguished foreign headliners like Agnostic Front, Blaze Bayley, Necronomicon, Taake, Candlemass, Atheist and others. Still the same, the festival was ... as an opportunity for promotion and socialising of the Slovene metal scene.
In 2010, the festival moved to another location, and was set up in Camp Alpe in Kamniška Bistrica. Alongside choosing the more alpine location, the festival broadened it's scope by including various sport activities (downhill, climbing, slacklininig, archery and some others) and organized Air Guitar Contest and Karaoke. The musical programme became more focused on presenting the Slovene musicians and among others hosted Dead Dildo Drome, Metalsteel, Keller, Vigilance, Use Less etc.
