A new urban festival, located just a short distance from the city center, will offer an oasis of peace and relaxation on the Petržalka embankment at Yuzu House – right by the Danube.

Over two days, June 27–28, 2025, more than twenty live acts and electronic music producers will perform across two stages, featuring genres like chillout, downtempo, indie music, trip hop, hip hop, deep house, techno, and more. Come kick off the summer with Booka Shade, Kraak & Smaak DJ set, Jazzanova DJ set, Lou Rhodes (Lamb) with her project Kiiōtō, Gold Panda, Lewis Fautzi, Autumnist & Nina Kohout and many others. The event will also feature a rich side program of engaging talks, travel screenings, top-notch food and drink.

The main idea behind the festival is to combine well-developed infrastructure with a natural oasis. Across two days, visitors can enjoy performances by over twenty artists representing electronic music, indie, ambient, downtempo, deep house, trip hop, and techno. The festival aims to attract audiences not only from Bratislava and its surroundings, but from all over Slovakia, as well as Austria, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. The Danube basin is a natural fit for such a type of festival.

Accompanying Program – Rádio FM Stage:

In addition to the music, there will be a side program for Saturday, June 28, 2025.

The second day of Danube Music Days opens with a tea workshop – an important ritual in the social life of Japan and other Asian cultures. There will be a talk about Japan with co-host and co-organizer Marián Jakubis, who will guide through the nuances of local customs and culture.

Petržalka native Daniel Hevier in conversation with his son, Daniel Jr., will discuss the music they love and lyrics that continue to resonate with listeners. Fun fact: both share a similar taste in alternative and electronic music.

Peter Faun Dolník (Rádio_FM – the festival’s main media partner) and Daniel Hevier Jr. (editor-in-chief of Music Press.sk) will lead a discussion on how to write about music and what’s worth following in music journalism.

Škrupo and Vix will also present a talk and screening about their trip through Pakistan and Vietnam.
