Beached Whale Festival
The musical acts are predominantly focused on electronic music (Borka, Žiga Murko, Some1Else, BeatMyth, New Wave Syria, Kleemar, etc), accompanied by occasional alternative rock oriented acts (Tovariš Strmoglavljen, 12). Since the beginning, there are also workshops for creating various whale sculptures and the festival has so seen its fair share of whales, from robotic to gigantic ones.
The festival - which also has a club pre-event called Half-whale there - is co-produced by Velenje Youth Centre (MC Velenje) and is supported by the Velenje Urban Municipality.
