VNS*26 & Friends – Festival of Music and Contemporary Art in Považská Bystrica

INVITATION to the 6th edition of the V NOVOM SVETLE festival 🔦🎀

IT’S HAPPENIIIIING!!! So LET’S GOOOOOO!!!

And if these first warm days have put you in the mood for a small festival in a small town, full of friendship, community, art and experiences – this year you can catch it on 4–5 September 2026 in Považská Bystrica. 🎺🍻

SAVE THE DATE, my friend!!

Thanks to a grant from the European Capital of Culture Trenčín 2026, we have managed to secure financial support in these difficult times for culture. We truly appreciate it, because we know it is not something to be taken for granted, and because it allows us to organise a vibrant, contemporary, young and open festival in towns like Považská Bystrica – a festival for everyone and for all genres and forms of art! 🥁🎤

We’re putting together the line-up and will keep you updated here in the event and on our Instagram: @vns_friends.
