Looking for more events? The full calendar of concerts and events in Macedonia and the region is in one place.
Najjakio Festival 2026 returns to Pletvar above Prilep on August 14 and 15, with a lineup almost entirely devoted to the domestic and regional alternative and rock scene. Two days of music, camping and nature in one of the most impressive mountain spots in central Macedonia, at the Ana Pletvarska villa.
The lineup is long and varied: Frisson, Kaliko, Iskra, Kenopsija, Corrosion, Gwass, Thyp, Chlen 16, Irsha, Tsar Von Time, Mallard, Whore Moans and Modem Priest. These are not names spun by commercial radio stations - this is the scene that lives in clubs and on small stages, the one that most often stays invisible to the wider public, and that is exactly why a festival like this matters.
The organisers describe it as a „small escape from the normal world“ - bands, DJs, art, nature, food and camping packed into two days under the open sky. Pletvar, with its altitude and its view towards Pelagonia, offers a setting that is hard to find at urban festivals. This is an event for those who want music and an outing in one, instead of a concrete stadium.
Capacity is limited, and tickets range from 700 to 1200 denars, depending on whether you take a one-day or two-day pass, through karti.com.mk. The start is at 10:00, which means a full day of programme before the main evening acts.
