Openwave Music Contest 2026

Basaglia Park in Gorizia will host the live selections for the Openwave Music Contest 2026, a free music competition created to showcase emerging young talent. The initiative celebrates cross-border cultural cooperation, focusing on youthful creativity without borders.

Promoted by EGTC GO with the organizational support of Openwave and Birrificio Antica Contea, the Openwave Music Contest is a free cross-border competition inspired by the spirit of GO! 2025 and dedicated to young bands (aged 16-30) from Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia.

Following the application deadline, the live selection phase will take place at the Garage Music Club in Gradisca d'Isonzo on July 8 and at the Lunatico Festival in Gorizia's Parco Basaglia on July 24.

On these occasions, a jury will select the six winning bands (three Italian and three Slovenian) who will earn the opportunity to perform a 30-minute professional set on August 28 and 29 on the borderless stage of Piazza Transalpina/Trg Evrope during the Borderless Beer Fest.

 

All events are free!
