The Love Offline concert will symbolically conclude the project of the same name and at the same time close this year’s LUV Fest, which has been taking place in Ljubljana since the beginning of February. The project connects culture, space, and youth creativity, while creating opportunities for meeting and building genuine relationships.
The event will take place on St. Gregory’s Day, the Slovenian holiday of love, when “the birds get married,” symbolically highlighting the encouragement of in person connections among young people, without the excessive presence of screens and phones.
The evening beneath Fabiani Bridge will be dedicated to hip hop. The stage will be taken over by promising young musicians developing their craft at JZ Mladi zmaji. The young rapper Teodor Haroj (TEO) will perform, expressing his personal experiences and view of the world through sincere original songs. He will be followed by Majkun, winner of the Hit Betona 2025 competition. Hailing from the outskirts of Novo mesto, this rapper blends old school boom bap aesthetics, sharp lyricism, and local dialect, while his performances are marked by the energy of a live band and improvisation. He will perform with his band members Otmar Taber (guitar), Andrej Batic (bass), Ita Kora (keyboards), and Ales Kozelj (drums), joined by guest artist Leyre.
Leyre, a musician of Spanish Dominican heritage, creates emotionally rich pop soul marked by powerful vocals and introspective lyrics. In the second part of the concert, the two artists will share the stage, intertwining creative masculine and feminine energy to deliver a memorable and slightly unconventional performance.
The honorary guest of the evening will be Leopold I, one of the prominent representatives of the new generation of Slovenian hip hop. With his distinctive dialect expression and narrative style, he has made a strong mark on the local scene, and his song Kinderspil was selected in 2023 as the best new Slovenian song by radio listeners.
The concert beneath Fabiani Bridge will symbolically connect Cukrarna and BAZA, the Ljubljana Youth Center, dedicating the evening to music, closeness, and those spontaneous moments when encounters simply happen.
