Benefit gigs 2023
Najavljeno je za sada 6 benefit koncerata diljem regije u jesen/zimu 2023. Hvala svim inicijatorima/cama na pokretanju akcija i svojih lokalnih sredina. Ljepo je vidjeti scenu ovako aktivnu i to je najljepši ishod SAWA Festa ove godine, te se nadamo da se vidimo na nekom od ovih gigova! ✊🏼
