March 16, 2020 - Fibra, an alternative and urban music festival, returns to Split at the Bacvice Summer Cinema on July 3-4, 2020.

The first performers announced are. Pips, Chips & Videoclips, Detour, Svemirko, Buč Kesidi, and Z ++.

No special announcement is required for Pips, Chips & Videoclips. When anyone talks about a unique rock phenomenon in Croatia, you know they’re talking about them. Pips, Chips &. Videoclips are often in Split, but rarely play shows outdoors - and this will be their debut at the Bacvice Summer Cinema.

Detour boasts immense popularity across all audiences and music reviewers, and will come to Split to present their fifth studio album, "TourDetour", for which they won the Porin last year for Best Pop Music Album and Best Performance by a Vocal Group.

Svemirko is one of the most exciting new acts on the scene. The albums “Vanilija“ and “Tunguzija“, with their lively rhythms, lyrics and fun dance arrangements, attract fans of good pop music.

From the neighboring Serbia comes disco indie rock sensation Buč Kesidi. The duo from Pančevo describes the less fun side of clubbing in their lyrics, and "play a live show for you to remember,” said Patrik Horvat of muzika.hr.

Finally, there is the musician of the enigmatic name Z ++, a member of the Osijek trap collective Retfatlanta, who is coming to present his first album "18 ++". The album belongs to the trap genre, but it also comes out of the box by connecting it with pop, and the quality of this piece is confirmed by the nomination in the Rap&Off category of the Rock&Off independent music journalism award.

The organizer of the festival, yem agency, holds five major music festivals in four different cities in Croatia. It all started with concerts and organizing the first “Drito from the Factory” festival in 2016. Already in 2017, yem held the Zagreb Beer Festival, which in 2018 was visited by over 100,000 visitors. In the same year, Split's "Fibra" joined their ranks. In 2019, yem organized a new urban open-air festival in Samobor "Pine Festival" and is taking over the organization of the cult Karlovac Beer Days festival.

With Fibra, yem returns to its hometown to offer locals and tourists a festival of unlimited genres, to which the quality of musicians and the production of the festival are paramount.

June 25, 2019 -  After yet another successful Mediterranean Film Festival in Split, which many locals consider officially opens the summer season in the Dalmatian capital, the Bačvice summer cinema will come alive once again next week for the second edition of the Fibra Festival. 

Fibra, an urban music festival, will take place on July 5 and 6 in a new location for their second edition - the summer cinema at Bačvice.

After last year's first edition which was held at the Gripe fortress, when 3,000 people enjoyed Kojoti, Let 3, Vojko V, High 5, and M.O.R.T., the yem agency has revealed an even more vibrant festival this summer. 

Fibra festival brings together a mix of the region’s best alternative and rock bands, and this year boasts a lineup featuring Psihomodo Pop, Jonathan, Boris Štok and Juggernaut who will join the already announced Urban & 4,  Letu štuke, Nipplepeople and Bojana Vunturišević!

Cult rockers Psihomodo Pop need no special announcement. Formed in Zagreb in 1983, their Ramones-esque songs and energetic stage presence will keep you dancing. 

After the unfortunate resignation of Rijeka band Jonathan last year, they are coming back even better this year and hot off their first US tour. 

One of the most recognizable voices of the Croatian music scene, Boris Štok will present his award-winning album "Ispod kože" - and you can catch the young Split instrumental duo Juggernaut who’ve emerged under the influence of the fast-paced stoner scene.

But that’s not all. 

Split will also welcome one of the most impressive live bands and headliners Urban & 4, the iconic Bosnian-Herzegovinian rock group Letu štuke who will present their first album in seven years, the energetic electro-pop duo Nipplepeople and the brilliant Belgrade musician Bojana Vunturišević.

The organizer of the festival, the yem agency, has several concerts and recognized projects under their belt, among which is the outstanding "Drito iz Tvornice", "Zagreb Beer Fest", and “Pine Fest Samobor”. 

With Fibra, the organizers come back to their hometown roots to offer locals and tourists a ‘festival without borders’ where the quality of the musicians and the production reigns supreme.
