Green ZOO Festival 2026

Line-up (so far)1.05 – Kultur Shock, Gypsurge8.05 – Trupa Trupa--Kultur Shock When singer Gino Srdjan Yevdjevich left war ravaged Sarajevo and settled in Seattle in the mid-90s, he hauled two things in toe - his immense vocal and songwriting talent, and his relentless ambition to create. Little that he knew that after starting Kultur Shock in 1996, he’s not only going to become the beating heart of one of the most consequential genre-bending bands of the last couple of decades, but also the de-facto grandfather of a movement that people today casually refer to as gipsy punk.

In early 2022, the band has re-released a re-mastered 20th anniversary edition of their iconic "FUCC The INS" album (Kool Arrow, 2001) on the same label.
