The festival which starting this year has been officially recognized as a festival of special importance for the culture of Montenegro, we can say with certainty that it is one of the most significant events in the country.

Furthermore, the CUE Podgorica hotel hosted regional rock stars at the second Zabjelo Culture Festival which took place on June 9th and 10th, 2023 at the Zabjelo “Nikola Šćepović” football club stadium.

A lot of good vibes were brought by six regional stars from the former republic of Jugoslavija as well as two representatives of the Montenegrin music scene. Good vibes were also transferred to the hotel, where we hosted the members of the cult rock and punk band Zabranjeno fušenje, the heroes of the regional alter rock scene Kanda, Kodža and Nebojša, the favorites of the Montenegrin audience, the band Zoster from Mostar, the fantastic IDA PRESTER and Lollobrigida. The region’s leading alter pop name Letu Štuke, the Belgrade rapcore-crossover band Sunshine, as well as the dear rap-rock band TBF from Split.

“Made In New York Jazz Festival 2023” was particularly significant because part of the money from each sold ticket has been diverted for humanitarian purposes to the “Ognjen Rakočević” foundation.
