The story

Rooftop ManiFESTo in Banja Luka

A small rooftop punk and alternative-music festival on top of Banja Luka's House of Youth, organized by the local group Baterflaj since the early 2020s. The lineup leans hardcore and punk, paired with an Art Corner where local artists and illustrators show work between sets, giving the event a DIY, scene-specific character rather than a mainstream festival feel.

Rooftop ManiFESTo takes place on the actual rooftop of Banja Luka's Dom omladine (House of Youth), a detail baked into both its name and its physical format.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's rooftop location is its most distinctive feature: shows happen above street level on top of the House of Youth rather than in a standard hall, giving the crowd an open-air view over the city while bands play

02

The mystery stays covered

It pairs a punk and hardcore music bill with an Art Corner for local illustrators and artists, folding visual-art display into a music festival rather than running it as a separate event

03

The city starts moving

Organized by a local citizens' association rather than a commercial promoter, it has kept a small, DIY scale across its successive editions rather than scaling into a large touring festival
