This year’s festival carries the slogan “Feel the Freedom,” perfectly capturing its spirit—freedom, passion for motorcycles, music, and a life without limits.

Organizers have prepared a diverse and dynamic music lineup that connects different generations and styles, with a strong focus on delivering a premium live concert experience.

The festival opens on Friday, May 29, with performances by Zoster, Psihomodo Pop, and Jelusick, promising an energetic mix of modern rock, signature groove, and punk-rock classics.

The final night, Saturday, May 30, will feature Parni Valjak, Rambo Amadeus, and Familija, bringing timeless hits, powerful emotions, and authentic stage performances.

Over the years, Moto Fest Banja Luka has grown into one of the most significant music and motorcycle events in the region, attracting thousands of visitors and bikers from numerous countries, and creating a unique blend of festival atmosphere, social gathering, and urban spectacle in the heart of the city.

In addition to the evening concert program, visitors can enjoy a rich daytime lineup. The Moto Fair will gather renowned global brands such as Harley-Davidson, Honda, Piaggio, Moto Guzzi, Gilera, Benelli, Polaris, and CF Moto. The Kastel bike corner will host daily performances by bands Stringsi, Gen 678, Estera, and Jahači Magle, while the Stunt Arena will feature exciting exhibitions by top stunt riders.

A special highlight is scheduled for Saturday, May 30 at 5 PM, when a motorcycle parade with more than 5,000 participants will ride through the streets of Banja Luka. Earlier that same day, the Children’s Moto Fest will take place, featuring performances by Dora the Exploder, Ostaci, Fuzzi, and Arterija

Moto Fest will once again have a humanitarian character—visitors will be able to participate in a charity raffle, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting 21-year-old Ognjen Miljević, who is battling the rare OPHN1 syndrome and severe epilepsy.

Tickets for the evening concert program are available through the Gigstix sales system (www.gigstix.ba), at Trg Krajine, as well as at Košnica Café Bar and Hey Joe. The price of a daily ticket is 20 KM. Entry to the festival remains free for all bikers, while tickets apply to non-biker visitors who wish to attend the evening concerts.
