On Thursday, April 25th, in the Biggest Little Rock Club in Zagreb (officially called Hard Place, located in a building right in frot of the building of Croatian National and University Library in Zagreb at Hrvatske bratske zajednice street in Zagreb) the sixth edition of the Biggest Little Rock Festival will start!
This year, just like all the previous years, the festival will host 9 amazing rock bands in a very friendly environment, with loads of supporting events.
On Thursday night the headliners will be a band from Rijeka called the Blagdan Band. While that name does not have a lot of recognition, the band members most certainly do: they come from the greatest bands in Rijeka (Laufer, Let 3 and En Face)! Blagdan band mostly does covers of the songs by some of the rock greats, such as T Rex, Clash, Pink Floyd or Pro Arte! In addition to them, on Thursday you will be able to hear a band from Zagreb called Terminator, and a garage rock band called Thee Melomen, who have recently had their songs appear on recent compilations sold worldwide.
On Friday evening, the main event will be the performance by Neno Belan and his band Fiumens, and they will be performing all of the biggest hits originally recorded by Belan’s former band, Đavoli. It will be a very nostalgic concert, as they will try and become the band from the late eighties, which tried to sound as if they were from the sixties! One of the signature sounds of Đavoli was the saxophone, and of course, Jakša Kriletić – Jordes on his sax will be joining the Fiumens for this performance. In addition to them, a band from Zagreb called Mačke will perform, and their biggest hit Crvena Kristina will certainly be heard, as well as the Sunnyriders.
On Saturday, Atomsko sklonište, a band that’s celebrating 42 years of active career will be performing for the Zagreb crowd. Bruno Langer, the band’s frontman, says that their audience these days covers three generations – a grandmother, a mother and a daughter can all enjoy their concerts. And if Atomsko sklonište is not enough for you, there will be two other bands performing on Saturday: Side Effects and a young band Magnar.
If you want to get to know Zagreb and Croatia rock scene, the Biggest Little Rock Festival is not to be missed!
