The Arsenal Fest opens the Serbian season in the heart of the Knežev Arsenal in Kragujevac, an industrial complex inherited from the 19th century transformed each summer into an open-air festival cathedral. Three days, several stages, a program that mixes alternative rock, hip-hop and a solid electronic niche with sets like Timo Maas, Just2 and MK Ultra Talents for the 2026 edition. The atmosphere remains very anchored in local Serbian culture, with a young and heterogeneous crowd who transform the old factory halls into a giant dancefloor as soon as night falls. The format remains accessible in terms of price and logistics: Arsenal Kamp campsite option, Tickets.rs ticketing, easy transport from Belgrade. A perfect start to the season to discover the Serbian scene without breaking the bank before the big summer passes.
