Concert KiKi, Before Time, CrashBoomBang (I)

Singer KiKi — on the internet Kikiwritings — has been described by the media as a "witch of intimate tales" and her music as "magical folk-pop."

In the fall of 2024, KiKi released her first album KRiKi (extended), which contains sixteen original songs in Slovene that range somewhere between pop and folk. Since then, she has performed at festivals such as Folkest (Italy), Waves Vienna (Austria), BUSH Festival (Hungary) and Druga Godba. You may have seen her at the Eurovision pre-selection, EMA 2025, where she performed the song O-ou!

At her concerts, you may be caught dancing to faster rhythms or wailing at the mourning, but Kika's voice will take you to her fairytale world in both cases. Along with the beautiful harmony of the backing vocalists and the somewhat unusual, sometimes dark lyrics, KiKi weaves narratives at concerts that let the listener get up close and sound almost like secrets told.

The singer-songwriter performs live with a band consisting of keyboardist Matevž Košutnik, guitarist Jan Kopač, bassist Ingrid Laventure, drummer Martin Jocif and vocalists Nika Trdin and Gala Pregel.

With the latest song Popoved, available on her YouTube channel, KiKi is already announcing her second album Fairy Tales.

Before Time is a Slovenian band that has established itself on the domestic scene by winning two competitions: Špil League 2019/20 and Šourock 2023/24. Formed in 2017, the band combines elements of rock and indie rock, looking for their own unique musical expression. Over the years, the people of Kamnik have evolved and experimented to create an authentic style that reflects their individuality and creative visions. Their music reflects a mix of energetic guitar riffs and thoughtful lyrics to appeal to a wide range of listeners. Before Time regularly perform in Slovenia, where they leave their mark on the Slovenian music scene with each concert. In 2023, they released their debut album titled OMNI and in March 2026 their second album titled All That We Are.

CrashBoomBang is an Italian collective founded in 2023 that sonically moves in a unique blend of hip-hop, punk, jazz and electronic music. "Musicians tired of instrumentals meet producers tired of digital," they say, while describing their sound as a train of samples crashing into drums on rails.
