Vikendica is a travelling festival-weekender for adventurous new music, connecting four iconic venues in The Netherlands. In the first weekend of October 2024, VERA joins hands with venues Stroomhuis (Eindhoven), WORM (Rotterdam) and OCCII (Amsterdam) to showcase a convoi exceptionnel of acts from Europe’s most vibrant underground scenes.

Named after a colloquial  Western Balkans term for a weekend home, Vikendica simultaneously highlights the identity and ambiance of independent clubs. After a successful 2023- edition, the nomadic event returns on 3-6 October 2024; adding a fourth venue to its destinations. Vikendica is an initiative by platform Yugofuturism.
