Vasil Gjuroski is a Balkan-born festival director who found peace, love, and a bit of madness in Tromsø – the Arctic capital of Norway.

A former manager, booking agent and promoter on the Balkan, he now runs three festivals near North Pole: the children’s festival Rabalder, the backyard music & food event Hagefestn, and Tromsø World, a global music festival bringing the world’s edges to the Arctic.

Known for his “fuck it - let's do it” attitude, Vasil believes in music as connection, chaos, and pure joy. After more than twenty years in the scene, he still believes in good music, good people, and good vibes.

Because, in the end, all you need is love, an amplifier, and a stack of great LPs.
