The honor of closing the lineup at the main stage goes to a joint performance by the renowned hip-hop artist DJ Iron, and dancehall-reggae master from England, JSTAR.
The Slovenian with residence in New York, Gramatik conquered the world scene with his blend of hip-hop, funk, and dubstep, while his exciting performances grew from DJ sets to truly spectacular concert experiences. His performance is set to begin right after the amazing concert by The Prodigy, and besides popular classics like “So Much Love”, “Just Jammin”, “Hit That Jive” and “The Drink is Called Rakija”, fresh tracks will be laid from this year’s seventh studio album “Epigram”. With their new album, titled “Opet”, the legendary band from Belgrade, Disciplin A Kitschme will this year have a chance to play for a from-around-the-world audience, during one of the primetime slots at the festival, and show the entire force behind their original sense of expression, created long before the renowned drumandbass genre was even invented! The fourfold, led by Koja, will speak volumes in raw rock’n’roll which always best relays their strong, universal messages of social change.
The audience at the fortress will have a chance to listen the internationally acclaimed reggae band Irie FM, titleholders of the Best European Reggae Band 2012 Award. The band from Belgrade, whose songs sound more like they were recorded on Jamaica, have won over the audience this year with their absolute hits “Svi” and “Kliziš”! An alternative rock/post-punk trio from Belgrade also stars on Main Stage. Their gigs are hypnotically pure and irresistibly honest, and will make the energy of the audience reach new heights. All that can only be achieved by the furiosity of Repetitor!
