ROCK OTOČEC, the biggest Open-Air-Festival in Slovenia

Rock Otočec is a music festival, traditionally held at an idyllic spot next to the Otočec castle at the castle bathing spot of the river Krka. Otočec (meaning island in Slovenian) is located just out of the town Novo mesto, which lies half way between the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, and that of Croatia, Zagreb (70 km distance from both cities). The festival attracts between 4 and 8 thousand visitors daily. It has hosted well-known music artists in the past years, among them: Fun Lovin Criminals, Living Colour, Asian Dub Foundation, Henry Rollins, Dog Eat Dog, Liquido, The Toasters, H-Blockx, Emil Bulls, Primal Fear, Fishbone, Stereo MC's, Fundamental, Apocalyptica,
Chumbawamba … Yet more than music this festival is marked by the numerous and varied activities of its daily programme. Street theatre performances, creative workshops in different skills, clowns, jongleurs, and many more give the Festival its distinguishing note, all being topped by the unique games and joys in the mud-pool, especially the Miss and Mister Mud selections, Rock Otočec Model competition and Football Matches. A bier at one of the Festivals' many bars sells at 2.00 Euro (1/2 litre, Laško, Union), respectively.
