Krastival Open Air Festival
Archival article
Krastival Open Air Festival has taken place in the town of Komen, in the Kras region near the Slovenian-Italian border, since 2006. It is a relatively small but persistent international music festival that always brings to its stage a numerous and varied host of punk, hardcore, metal and crust-oriented bands. It usually lasts two days and besides live concerts offers free camping, music stalls, performances and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. The festival's name is a word-play on the region of Karst (Kras in Slovenian) and crust punk music.
The festival, which had a two year hiatus in 2011 and 2012, has hosted a huge number of bands from Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Slovakia, Poland, USA, Germany, and Canada. Among them: Iamdisease, Human Error, Warfare, Gomora, Đornata, Extreme Smoke 57, Bloody Phoenix, Dickless Tracy, Bolesno grinje, Ambonker, Hard charger, and Culto Del Cargo.
