What is Maribor? Drava, spritzer, Piramida, Pohorje, Poštna, one-way and roundabouts, Maribor island, štenge, summer in the park and Saturdays at the market. But that's not all. It is also the place where Ftrgatev 2018 will take place again. It will be Ftrgave, so come.

In the center of Ljubljana, just a stone's throw away from Prešeren square, Gig, a bar where you are served fragrant coffee in the morning, selected lunches during the day, and beer and live music in the evening, has opened in the premises of the former Lačna koza butchery.
Music is a wonderful thing. It can make us happy, it can make us want to dance, but at the same time it allows us to escape from the real world for a few moments. But music is not "just" that. Music is scientifically proven medicine. It leaves an impression on our brains that is deeper than any other human experience. Among other things, music can improve the memory of dementia patients and help them develop new memories. Let's see what music can heal.
It's not even autumn without music. Falling leaves, shorter days, morning fog, evening teas, soft scarves and warm socks. Autumn is a season that, despite the morning sleepiness and cold nights, has its charms. We have prepared a music playlist for you selected by our editors, on which everyone will find something for themselves. For those minutes when music is most appropriate in autumn: in the car on the way to work, during traffic jams on the city bus, during an evening run or just like that, for a better day.
This week's music videos seem to be dominated by indie bands, although there are also 50 Cent with an interesting, somewhat cinematic video and Sam Smith in collaboration with one half of the Disclosure tandem. Music news of the week
A very busy music week is behind us, so let's make some space on our devices for playing music as soon as possible.
This week, the redhead La Roux will pass the time with a new song from the upcoming album, Gorgon City is attacking with a potential summer hit, Arcade Fire are warning about gender identity, Die Antwoords have once again provided another musical bizarre, and Glass Animals are impressing with their writing. Bombastic, as befits a new music week.
Let's not forget to get some good music for the holidays! If we haven't been able to find it yet, maybe we will find some pleasant video among the new music videos that will remind us of the unforgettable May Day holidays. We just keep it exciting and disconnected.

The urban rock festival Rock in Vienna is returning to Vienna for the third time in June 2017, which last year attracted names such as Rammstein, Iron Maiden, Mando Diao, Nightwish and Iggy Pop, and this year Kings Of Leon, Macklemore & Ryan, among others, are coming as guests Lewis, Die Toten Hosen, Silbermond, Beatsteaks and Marteria.
Where to go to festivals this summer, or rather this part of the summer that is still ahead of us? First, we can stop at Ultra in Split or at the Rockin' Riviera Weekender in Portorož, and then we can continue on. These are the 2017 music festivals you shouldn't miss.
