One of the most distinctive open-air festivals in this part of Europe, Jelen OK Fest, returns once again to the spectacular setting of Tjentište, deep within Sutjeska National Park. From July 17 to 19, the festival brings three days of outstanding music, a powerful festival atmosphere, and performances by artists shaping both the global and regional music scenes.

As in previous years, the festival camp opens a day earlier, on July 16, with a special opening program on the OK Stage located at the center of the campsite. Sleeping under the stars and waking up surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes have become an essential part of the OK Fest experience.

First Announcements: A Strong Start

The first names on this year’s lineup make it clear that OK Fest is once again setting the bar high.

Among the headliners are Skunk Anansie, the legendary British band led by the charismatic Skin. For more than three decades, Skunk Anansie have been known for their explosive live shows, blending alternative rock and punk with powerful social commentary. Their impact has been officially recognized with an entry in the Guinness Book of Records as one of the most successful British acts of the past 50 years.

From New York comes Onyx, the hip-hop group that defined much of the raw energy of the 1990s. Their influence on the global hip-hop movement is undeniable, and their live performances remain intense, chaotic, and uncompromising.

Contemporary Sound and Regional Icons

The lineup also includes Senidah, one of the most influential pop artists of today. With a distinctive sound, strong artistic identity, and hits that have amassed hundreds of millions of streams, Senidah represents a modern regional pop phenomenon with clear international reach.

Zoster, known for their unique blend of reggae, rock, and socially conscious lyrics, return to Tjentište as a familiar and much-anticipated name. Over the years, their performances at OK Fest have become something of a tradition.

Punk-rock veterans Goblini bring unfiltered energy and a catalog of cult anthems that have shaped generations of fans across the region.

Rounding out the first wave of announcements is Artan Lili, a Belgrade-based indie rock band celebrated for their intense live performances and immersive atmosphere.

More Than a Festival

This is only the first part of the festival program, with additional artists set to be announced soon. OK Camp packages are already available, including accommodation in the festival campsite from July 16 to 20 and full access to all concerts and festival events.

By combining high-quality music, pristine natural surroundings, and the unique experience of camping in the wild, Jelen OK Fest stands out as one of the most distinctive summer festivals in the region — an event where music, landscape, and audience come together as one.
