Discover new music and the authentic sound of a wildly colourful region. BALKAN:MOST in cooperation with WOMEX, co-funded by Veszprém-Balaton European Capital of Culture 2023, is a pioneer event in scope and relevance; a free open-air festival brings you 30 concerts in 3 days, by the fresh talent of 9 Balkan countries, in the heart of beautiful Veszprém. Crowning MOST, the four-year project led by Hangvető and co-financed by Creative Europe; the festival showcases fresh regional talent. It provides a bridge or stepping stone to broader markets.
