🌱 Green Rock Inspirations Initiative
Four of the bands in this year’s lineup — Himera, SMOG, Xaoc, and Inconvenients — were selected through the “Green Rock Inspirations” initiative. This program supports young artists who write original music and are inspired by nature, freedom, and change.
Bands from all over Bulgaria submitted demos, and those selected were given the chance to perform live at the festival alongside professional musicians. The initiative aims to keep the rock spirit alive and foster new creative voices on the Bulgarian music scene.
📢 Green Rock Fest Ruse 2025 is organized with the financial support of the National Culture Fund (NFC), Ruse Municipality, and partners.
