SHARPE music festival & conference combines public performances of promising Slovak and international artists of various genres with a conference, where the music professionals from all over Europe meet, learn from each other and discuss the latest topics and trends in the music industry in panels, workshops, presentations, and networking sessions.

“At Sharpe, we could feel the passion in every little aspect. The creative energy that is hosted within the walls of Nová Cvernovka and the energy and passion of people behind the event, literally made the air vibrate.”  An intentionally picked mention from the Luxembourg Radio 100.7, during the first year’s edition, since it is appropriately reflecting on our mission.

We seek for the highest quality and diversity when compiling the festival program, showcasing dreamy indie, heavy doom-sludge, jazz, world music infusions, electronic minimalism or avant-garde and experimental music. Besides music, we aim to create a platform for education and networking, stimulate cooperation, export and growth of the Slovak independent scene and increase the international circulation of music repertoire.
