The story

Southern Soul Festival Montenegro in Velika Plaza/Ulcinj

Southern Soul Festival ran on Ulcinj's Velika Plaza, also called Copacabana Beach, from 2013 through at least 2019, with soul, jazz, funk, house and disco programming. In 2015 the Guardian named it one of Europe's ten best festivals. Whether the festival has continued in more recent years is unclear from available sources, and its current operating status should be treated as unconfirmed.

Southern Soul Festival Montenegro can be made production-safe by treating it as an entity-context-backed guide rather than forcing unsupported depth.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Southern Soul Festival built its reputation on a genre mix rarely paired together in Montenegro's festival calendar: soul, jazz, funk, house and disco sharing the same lineup on Ulcinj's Velika Plaza, also known locally as Copacabana Beach

02

The mystery stays covered

That combination, plus the open beachfront setting on Montenegro's southernmost coast, helped the festival earn international recognition, including a spot on the Guardian's list of Europe's ten best festivals in 2015

03

The city starts moving

Confirmed editions span 2013 through at least 2019, giving it a multi-year run during that period, though available sources do not clearly establish whether the festival has continued into more recent years, which limits how confidently its present-day status can be described
