The disco punk maestros, the band !!! (CHK CHK CHK), will take the stage at St. Michael's Fortress on September 12th this year, opening the second edition of the SHIP festival!

SHIP is a festival that nurtures all kinds of musical communication, and this year's visuals communicate through maritime signaling, serving as a base for the dance of SHI(P) faces. The creators are Karlo Kazinoti and Mišo Komenda.
SHIP festival is organized by the Office for the Export of Music Croatia (HUZIP, HGU, HUIG, HUOKU) in collaboration with the Public Institution for Cultural Activities Fortress of Culture Šibenik. The festival is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, Croatian Tourist Board, HDS ZAMP, City of Šibenik, Tourist Board of the City of Šibenik, and Tourist Board of Šibenik-Knin County.
