The detailed program of the nineteenth edition of the Herceg Novi Comic Festival (HSF), which will be held this year from September 5 to 10 at several locations in Herceg Novi and Boka Kotorska, but also in Lovćen, has been completed, as cooperation with the great Kotor – Lovćen Cable Car complex continues. An extremely rich six-day program, in addition to typical art and comics content, such as exhibitions of works by special guests, drawing for fans, workshops for all ages, presentations and lectures, also includes a very high-quality, carefully selected, musical repertoire every day.
This year, Herceg Novi Comic Festival also confirms the fact that, in addition to the best content dedicated to the ninth art, it also has one of the best music programs.
During the duration of the festival, on all six nights, HSF organizes top concerts for which admission is free, so on the opening night, on Friday, September 5, from 10 p.m. at the Forte Mare fortress, the famous band “Lollobrigita” led by the great Ida Prester will perform, and as the opening act, the young Belgrade band “Paks”, winner of the Bunt Rock festival, with whom HSF has been cooperating for almost a full decade, will perform. At the same location for the next evening, Saturday, September 6, a concert of the group “16-OSAM-23” is scheduled, and the star of the evening is the exceptional por-rock group “Artan Lili”.
Sunday, September 7, is reserved for another spectacular concert by the legendary band “Pips, chips & videoclips” from Zagreb, while the Danish DJ MadraZ will warm up the audience. The musical and stage spectacle of the nineteenth edition of HSF continues on Monday, September 8 at the People’s beach club, with the multimedia project of the Italian duo Miorelli-Becini – “Comics Beyond: Moby Dick City Blues”, and the night closes at the same location with the great DJ Andrea Nox from Podgorica.
Tuesday evening, September 9, is reserved as every year for a performance in the cult Amphitheater of the Hercegnov Theater and for local forces – the band “Chenova” from Đenovići, but also a team of top musicians called “Boka all star”, which consists of Marko Vlahović, Dragan Ivanović, Martin Đorđević, Goran Milojević, Miodrag Šule Jovović, Sara Jovović and Antonije Pušić.
The music program of the 19th HSF rounds off the concert of the Split hip-hop sensation “TBF”, which will close the festival at the People’s beach club on Wednesday, September 10.
Let us remind you that the special guests are: Eduardo Riso (Argentina), Francois Book, Tristan Lagrange Triston, Jean-Charles Poupard (France), Harry Randolph (USA), Mark Simpson Jock (Great Britain), Alejandro Gonzalez Čermanico (Spain), Juri Landman (Netherlands), Maria Laura Sanapo, Marko Santući, Valeria Burzo, Luka Strati (Italy), with whom the company in Herceg Novi at the nineteenth edition of the HSF will make no less than 130 special artists from a total of 25 countries around the world.
