Ginistra Festival returns to Rovinj with its fifth edition. From October 23 to 24, 2026, the Istrian town hosts a two-day music event whose lineup this year is led by Maja Šuput and the rock band Opća Opasnost, in a mix that ties together pop-dance energy and rock sound on the Adriatic coast.

Over the past few years Ginistra has grown into a recognizable autumn fixture of the Istrian music scene - a festival that stretches summer into October, when the crowds have thinned and Rovinj takes on a more intimate, more authentic face. Booking Maja Šuput as one of the headliners guarantees a full show with staging and energy, while Opća Opasnost brings the rock component that gives the festival its genre breadth.

Opća Opasnost is one of the better-known Croatian rock bands, with an audience that follows them across the country. Their set on the same stage as Šuput is exactly what makes festivals like this interesting - a meeting of two different musical worlds under the same sky, for a crowd that wants both.

Rovinj, one of the most beautiful towns on the Istrian coast, is a frame worthy of an event like this. Tickets are available through eventim.hr. For anyone after an autumn music weekend on the Adriatic, October 23 and 24 in Rovinj offer two evenings with different energy.
