HGF Zabok is one of the longest-running new music festivals in Croatia. Since 1996, when the first festival was held, more than 5,000 bands have submitted their songs to participate in the finals. Timeless lyrics and vibrant musical form guide the audience through love journeys, personal quests and social considerations in an unpretentious way, depending on their own understanding of those motifs – from dance rhythms to contemporary ballads in a compact form for modern times.
