ŠKUC Ropot has been the single most important concert organiser and promoter in Slovenia/ex-Yugoslavia during the 80s and 90s. It was established at the beginning of the 1980s as an alternative/punk rock music section of ŠKUC, spearheaded by the legendary punk ideologue, activist and radio DJ Igor Vidmar. Originating with the organisational arm of the most important rock event, the legendary 'Novi Rock' festival (1980-2000), organised by Radio Študent (RŠ), ROPOT was established as a promotional arm of the ŠKUC Association and record label. ROPOT has been an independent entity since 2000.

In 40 years of its work, ŠKUC Ropot led by Igor Vidmar has organised more than 350 concerts. Celebrating its 40 years of work and its big contribution to the development of the Slovenian alternative music scene, there will be an exhibition of selected concert posters taking place at the gallery 25 steps (staircase at Metelkova 6, Ljubljana) until 18th of June 2021, which marks the date of the official 40th anniversary.
