SLOT is not just another music festival – we offer a few hundred of events varying in their subjects and forms. Still, the factors crucial for our atmosphere are our unique setting and the involvement of over 1000 volunteers.

Everyone coming to SLOT contributes in some way: through buying a ticket, leading a workshop or becoming a part of the festival’s staff. Throughout a couple of days we all conduct a group experiment, discovering how to be creative, work together, communicate more eficiently; how to LIVE for each other and not just for ourselves.
SLOT is a crack on the surface of our daily routines. We have been carving it every July for almost 30 years now. It’s a prototype, however small and ephemeral, of an ideal town. There are residential areas and a communal bathhouse, cafes, restaurants, recital halls, clubs… We have a university and a kindergarden, and even theatre, an art gallery and a cinema.

SLOT is a celebration of sharing our passions, experiences and inspirations.

LOCATION – a usually abandoned monastery, now brimming with life for our special 5 days and nights
