Last July ‘23 heavy storms hit us twice in 3 days during the week we were supposed to organize our annual SAWA Fest gathering. Just as we recovered from the first storm wave on Wednesday and 180+ km/h wind speed that destroyed everything, the second one came back again on Friday and caused a lot of damage. Due to the natural disaster and concern about the visitors safety we were forced to cancel the festival 15 min before the first band was supposed to start playing on the first day of the festival.
We’re putting all of our merchandise online, so everyone who would like to support us can do so by buying some of the fancy shit below. 100% of the earnings will be used for recovering the festival and coming back stronger in 2024!
A heavy storm ruined the festival, but not the community spirit. It made the scene even stronger and more connected. What supposed to be a terrible event turned into a beautiful punk story of friendship and solidarity. We couldn’t even imagine how much SAWA means to you! We appreciate every support - be it words of encouragement, donations or bought merchandise. We are also very grateful for every solidarity action and concert organized across the Balkan region. We never asked for it but we got the support when needed.
Without you, we would be nothing. All of this has once again proved to us that we are a community, not an event. Thanks for being amazing and supportive part of the punk scene! SICK!
