Join Us At Sunny Hill Festival This Weekend! Plus, My Top 6 Kosovo Highlights 

Today marks the start of my family’s Sunny Hill Festival in Prishtina and I couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come since we first started it back in 2018. It’s always a joy to see such incredible musicians play in my hometown, and each year the festival gets better and better. I’m so excited for the 2024 lineup, featuring artists such as Burna Boy, Stormzy and Griff. 

If you’ve got tickets, I hope you have the best weekend! If not, be sure to add Sunny Hill to your bucket list, as Kosovo has so much to offer. To help you explore, I’ve put together a list of a few of my favourite spots in Prishtina… 

1. The National Gallery of Kosovo – For exhibitions showcasing Kosovan artists. 
2. Sonder – Great food, and such a cool place. 
3. Bubble Pub – The first and only queer bar in Kosovo/Prishtina (visit for drag shows, stand ups, poetry nights and lots of different events). Read Service95’s interview with its founder Lendi Mustafa here. 
4. Osteria Basilico – Great Italian restaurant. 
5. Noya – A cool bar with beautiful rooftop views. 
6. Galeria 17 – Visit for an updated staging of the groundbreaking exhibition We Have Another 12 Hours, which first opened 20 years ago, examining Kosovo’s past and imagining its future.
