Changeover Festival Belgrade has arrived! Since its establishment in 2022, Changeover has been bringing together musicians and European professionals from the music industry, opening space for their creative collaboration and exchange of experiences, while the May iZdanje Changeover 2025 was announced with the words: Balkans in the world, world in the Balkans. Since its inception, the festival's program has been designed to engage the audience through various concert events and inspiring panel discussions. With over 200 performances during the first three years, including concerts by artists such as GNOD (UK), Astrid Sonne (DK), Belgrado (ES), Orchestra Kamchia (BG), dal:um (KR), KVB (UK), Horse Lords (US), Bendik Giske (NO), Marina Herlop (ES) and Jazzbois (HU), the festival has in a short time become a key regional platform for progressive and innovative music. From British experimental rock and Scandinavian synth melancholy to Colombian tropical chaos and Balkan brass fusion — Changeover 2025 brings together over 80 top performers from around the world. This year's edition includes noise-punk, electro-poetry, avant-folk, ambient rituals and genre-changing live performances — plus a complete music industry conference and city program at the most important locations in Belgrade.
