Frequencyannual

Primarily staging heavy metal music, the Paranoid Open Air Festival was first held in 2009. Organised in a collaboration by the Paranoid webzine, Novi KLG and Veseli Dihurčki Cultural Society, it was set up as a continuation of the festival Metal Mania Open Air that has then come to a temporary halt. As the Paranoid webzine has had the tenth anniversary of it's activities that year, they named the festival after it. It was held in Ljubečna pri Celju and has had distinguished foreign head liners like Agnostic Front, Blaze Bayley, Necronomicon, Taake, Candlemass, Atheist and others. Still the same, the festival's main aim was to present an opportunity for promotion and socialising of the Slovene metal scene.

In 2010, the festival moved to another location, and was set up in Camp Alpe in Kamniška Bistrica. Alongside choosing the more alpine location, the festival broadened its scope by including various sport activities (downhill, climbing, slacklininig, archery and some others) and happenings like the Air Guitar Contest and Karaoke. The musical programme became more focused on presenting the Slovene musicians and among others hosted Dead Dildo Drome, Metalsteel, Keller, Vigilance, Use Less etc.
