At the invitation of the coordinators of the European platform of concert venues, the main venue in Brussels, Ancienne Belgique, Kino Šiška has become the 14^th member of Liveurope.

The Liveurope platform brings together and supports European concert venues in their commitment to promote up-and-coming European acts, and actively boosts their touring across European stages and their introduction to new audiences.

In addition to Kino Šiška and the above-mentioned Ancienne Belgique, the European project includes noted venues A38 (Budapest, Hungary), L’Aéronef (Lille, France), Sala Apolo (Barcelona, Spain), Blå (Oslo, Norway), FZW (Dortmund, Germany), Melkweg (Amsterdam, the Netherlands), Palác Akropolis (Prague, the Czech Republic), Musicbox (Lisbon, Portugal), Rockhal (Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg), Stodoła (Warsaw, Poland), Vega (Copenhagen, Denmark) and Village Underground (London, Great Britain). In the two years since its launch, the platform has organised 837 concerts of different genres under the Liveurope brand (380 in the first and 457 in the second year).

The invitation to participate in the Liveurope platform is unique acknowledgement of Kino Šiška’s work in the music field to date. At the same time, it provides encouragement for even more active promotion of quality new European music in Slovenia and offers new opportunities for the promotion of Slovenian artists abroad. Alongside the already established MENT project, membership in Liveurope will strengthen the presence of Slovenian music on the European scene.
