Over the years, Slovenia's Festival Lent has featured some incredible headliners. Among the best performers were the Slovenian techno producer and DJ Joker Out and the vivacious Ukrainian rapper alyona alyona. Other notable performances included Dubioza kolektiv, a Bosnian band renowned for their combination of reggae, dub, and rock, and UMEK, a Slovenian DJ and producer.
Other international performers at the festival were Seun Kuti, the son of Fela Kuti, who brought his Afrobeat style to the stage. Another well-liked performer was the Australian musician Dub FX, who is renowned for his live looping shows. Richard Bona, a bassist and singer from Cameroon, was also well-liked.
Both the Croatian rock group Parni Valjak and the American jazz artist Jose James performed on stage. Naturally, no Festival Lent would be complete without the great Serbian singer-songwriter Dorde Balasevic, who tragically passed away in 2020. Fans are still inspired by and entertained by his music today.
