The story

SHARPE Festival in Nová Cvernovka/Bratislava

SHARPE Festival & Conference is an annual music and industry event at Nová Cvernovka, a former school turned creative hub in Bratislava, reaching its eighth edition on April 24 to 25, 2026. It showcases more than 50 performances of new and progressive music from Slovakia, Europe and beyond, paired with a conference on music industry and creative sector topics.

Nová Cvernovka occupies a building that once housed a school, and its second life as one of Bratislava's most significant independent creative and cultural hubs makes it an apt home for a festival built around discovery rather than established names.

01

The place changes

SHARPE combines two functions rarely paired at this scale in Slovakia: a music festival showcasing fresh and progressive sounds from Slovakia, Europe and further afield, and a genuine industry conference bringing together participants, speakers, journalists, musicians, label managers and artist managers for discussions and workshops on music business and the creative industries, including environmental and social topics

The mystery stays covered

03

The city starts moving

Across its eighth edition the festival spans more than 50 performances across multiple stages within a compact two-day format, and organized by FABRICCA it has grown into a recognized meeting point for Central European music professionals
