After a decade of being held in Helsinki, the world renowned Flow Festival will for the first time travel to another host destination this year. From 26 to 28 June it will be held in Ljubljana, whose abandoned Tobačna tovarna tobacco factory complex will play host to a star line-up of artists including Pet Shop Boys, Róisín Murphy, Metronomy, Run the Jewels, Caribou, José González, Derrick May, and many others.

Each year in the summer, Ljubljana comes alive with numerous festivals, most of them taking place in the open air. The city centre festival season traditionally starts with the June in Ljubljana festival and ends with Nights in Ljubljana Old Town. A great new addition to this summer's range of festivals is Flow Festival Ljubljana, set to bring a stellar line-up of music artists to the abandoned Tobačna tovarna factory complex from 26 to 28 June.

Ljubljana boasts a new museum dedicated to Slovenia's rich history of puppetry, which goes back over a hundred years. The country's great puppeteers and puppet characters now have a special space at Ljubljana Castle.
