Beyond the music program, the big news is that OverJam will host an exclusive Dancehall Camp from Aug. 17th to Aug. 19th, with professional dancehall classes by two of Jamaica’s most renowned teachers, Global Bob and Zidan Xclusive. The camp offers two classes per day, then continues with the dancehall slot on the beach and finishes with the final Main Stage on Saturday night. To take part, you can add a special extra pass to your festival ticket (presale €55 / door €85) or buy an exclusive full dancehall camp pass for €239 including your festival ticket, available via presale only.
The audience can also attend the OJ University panels hosted by UK-based writer, selector and broadcaster Angus Taylor, workshops of all kinds, and OJ Radio. Children will love the unique OJ4Kidz program, now running until 10 PM in the evening. There is also a cinema, a colorful marketplace, and for the first time, an authentic Jamaican food stand, joining a range of food trucks offering cuisine from 8 different cultures.
All this takes place in the usual magnificent setting on the banks of the Soča and Tolminka rivers, at the foot of the Mount Triglav National Park. The festival is already working on new ways to improve the festival experience this summer. These include a new main entrance location to shorten distances, a fast ticket office to reduce queueing times, the return of the music program on the beach, and the option of camping next to your vehicles.
Full festival tickets are already on sale, priced at €159, including camping. Daily tickets are also available for €65. For the first time, OverJam is offering VIP tickets that will allow visitors to watch concerts from the VIP deck, get drinks from the special VIP bar, park closer to the venue, and even have a ‘Meet & Greet’ with some artists.
