TBF, Goran Bare & Majke, Porto Morto, ABOP, Elena Vasova and BEG to perform at Park fra Jure Radi\u0107a on September 19 and 20, while Milan Mladenovi\u0107\u2019s birthday on September 21 will be marked with a film programme at Makarska Open-Air Cinema<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makarska, September 1, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 As the September sun sets over the open sea and the stage lights come on above Makarska, the city beneath Biokovo will once again take on the colours after which this festival is named. From Saturday, September 19, to Monday, September 21, the fourth edition of the \u201cModro i zeleno\u201d Festival will bring six live performances, three film screenings and a special celebration of Milan Mladenovi\u0107\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated to the music and legacy of one of the most important authors of the regional rock scene, the festival will connect Park fra Jure Radi\u0107a, the Osejava peninsula and Makarska Open-Air Cinema over three days. This year\u2019s programme brings together major names in music, the new regional scene and young musicians from Makarska, reaffirming that \u201cModro i zeleno\u201d is not simply a festival of remembrance, but a place where Milan\u2019s legacy continues to live through new artists, new audiences and music that knows no borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert programme begins on Saturday, September 19, with a performance by Elena Vasova<\/strong>last year\u2019s winner of the Milan Mladenovi\u0107 Award. She will then be joined on stage at Park fra Jure Radi\u0107a by TBF<\/strong>, whose songs have been an essential part of the Croatian music scene for decades and Porto Morto<\/strong>, one of the most distinctive names of Zagreb\u2019s new generation of musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday evening, September 20, will bring together Makarska\u2019s local musical talent with major concert names. The programme will open with band BEG<\/strong>followed by Goran Bare & Majke<\/strong> and Zagreb-based collective ABOP<\/strong>, known for turning electronic music into a powerful live experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Milan Mladenovi\u0107 Award will be presented in Belgrade on Monday, September 21, the day of Milan\u2019s birth. As his birthday falls on a Monday this year, following three consecutive award ceremonies in Makarska, the award ceremony will return to Belgrade, while the festival concerts will remain in Makarska over the weekend. These are connected, but separate programme segments: the finalists take part in the award ceremony programme, while the festival in Makarska traditionally welcomes the winner from the previous year. From 173 submitted songs, an international jury has selected 12 finalists from six countries in the region this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the name of the new laureate will be announced in Belgrade, Milan\u2019s birthday will also be celebrated in Makarska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story of Milan\u2019s connection to Makarska will be further enriched this year by the new Krug viewpoint<\/strong> on the Osejava peninsula. Designed as a circular bench based on the concept of architects Branka Juras and Morana Ostoji\u0107, it takes its name from another of Milan\u2019s songs. Surrounded by pine trees and overlooking the sea and islands, it offers yet another reason to take a walk through Osejava, stop to watch the sunset and experience Makarska in its most natural colours \u2013 blue and green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film evening at Makarska Open-Air Cinema will offer three different perspectives on important stories from the region\u2019s music scene. The documentary \u201eElektri\u010dni orgazam za ljude budu\u0107nosti\u201c<\/strong> directed by Marija Vuki\u0107, follows the band on an overseas tour and reveals lesser-known details from its almost four-decade-long career. The short documentary \u201ePraia do Ventu Eternu\u201c<\/strong> , directed by \u0110or\u0111e Marjanovi\u0107, was created from private VHS footage recorded during the stay of Milan Mladenovi\u0107 and Mitar Suboti\u0107 Suba in Brazil, where they recorded the cult album Angel\u2019s Breath in 1994. The programme also features the award-winning documentary-animation film \u201eIza osmeha\u201c<\/strong> directed by Marko \u0110or\u0111evi\u0107, an intimate portrait of Vlada Divljan created from family footage, musical recordings and personal memories. The film programme has been prepared in cooperation with Kino Mediteran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cModro i zeleno\u201d Festival takes its name from Milan\u2019s song of the same title. Born in Zagreb, raised in Sarajevo and later living in Belgrade, Milan remained connected to Makarska throughout his life \u2013 the city his mother Danica came from and the place that was his summer home. Standing before the blue of the sea and the green of Osejava and Biokovo, it is almost impossible not to imagine that this landscape inspired \u201cModro i zeleno\u201d, a song whose title in Makarska feels as though it has always belonged to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cModro i zeleno\u201d Festival has been held in Makarska since 2023, while the Milan Mladenovi\u0107 Foundation has presented the award bearing his name since 2019, always on Milan\u2019s birthday. The fourth edition of the festival is organised by the Tourist Board of the City of Makarska and the City of Makarska, in cooperation with the Milan Mladenovi\u0107 Foundation from Belgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cModro i zeleno\u201d does not preserve Milan\u2019s legacy in silence. It brings it back to the stage, to film, to new musicians and to audiences who still recognise his songs as their own. And in Makarska, between the sea and Biokovo, this music still has its natural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
