Joker Out is a Slovenian music group that has, in recent years, gained widespread recognition and popularity both in Slovenia and abroad, especially in Finland, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, and the Netherlands. After a long time, Slovenia has finally found a true generational rock’n’roll band.
The band members first came together as teenagers in 2016, bringing a refreshing new sound, style, and outstanding live performances to the local music scene. The group consists of five members: Bojan Cvjetićanin (vocals, guitar), Kris Guštin (guitar), Jan Peteh (guitar), Nace Jordan (bass), and Jure Maček (drums).
Over the years, the band has developed a distinctive modern and energetic sound that has become uniquely their own. The members, most of whom are still in their early twenties, describe it as “shagadelic rock’n’roll.” Their very first singles already proved that Joker Out meant business, regularly topping Slovenian music charts. In both 2021 and 2022, they were named Artist of the Year, while also receiving an award for Best Song.
In 2021, they released their debut album Umazane misli, and in October of the same year they sold out two consecutive concerts at Ljubljana’s well-known venue Cvetličarna, attracting a total of 3,000 visitors over two nights.
The year 2022 marked a major breakthrough. Alongside performing 61 concerts, the band released their second studio album Demoni, continued dominating Slovenian music charts, and reached the top of streaming platforms with every new release. But that was not all. In September, Joker Out organized their own major concert at Ljubljana’s iconic Križanke, where more than 3,500 fans sang along in unison with their young idols. The audience was captivated not only by the music, but also by the outstanding performance, video production, and visual spectacle. It is also worth mentioning that the band performed in Serbia for the first time in 2022, appearing at the EXIT Festival, and released two songs in Serbian: Demoni and Ona. That same year, Slovenia’s hottest band also received the Eventim Award for selling the highest number of tickets for live events in Slovenia.
But Joker Out did not stop there. The year 2023 brought even more milestones. In May, they reached the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool with their single Carpe Diem. In October, they sold out their biggest concert to date at Ljubljana’s Arena Stožice, performing in front of 12,000 fans, while also releasing their second studio album Demoni.
At the end of 2023 and throughout 2024, the “Jokerji” toured extensively across Europe with more than 50 concerts, released their third studio album Souvenir Pop, and surpassed 25 million streams with their biggest hit, Carpe Diem.
Joker Out keep moving forward.
To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Joker Out will present an exclusive carnival-themed performance: more than just a concert, it will be a complete experience featuring a strong emotional connection with the audience and a striking visual identity.
Internationally recognized guest artists, including Käärijä and Devito, will join them on stage, while an additional burst of energy will come from a selected opening act chosen through a special competition.
