In recent years, Druga godba has taken on a very specific festival format, which means that the main part of its musical programme takes place in a compact and more or less continuous run, starting on Friday and finishing on Saturday's evening. This innovative set-up probably plays a part in why the festival has been chosen for five times in a row (between 2011 and 2015) as one of the 25 best world music festivals in the world by the renowned British magazine Songlines.
Since 2013, Druga godba Institute has expanded the festival programme throughout the whole year with the concert cycle Sogodbe. This cycle, which takes place at various locations, continues the broad scope of the main festival and is bridled by neither genre nor continent. Besides staging concerts, Sogodbe also feature workshops, discussions and exhibitions.

At the outset its programme was primarily concerned with different kinds of "otherness in music": alternative rock, "rock in opposition", adventurous new jazz, improvised music and experimental music, as well as rediscovered Slovene folk music. Druga godba, its juicy name could be translated and written as "that other muzik", was the first festival in the former Yugoslavia to introduce popular musics and styles from the Third World, including reggae and various styles of African music. Gradually also other genres of ethnic music from both European and non-European cultural surroundings were included. Thus the festival was a pioneer in the region in presenting representatives of African, Arab, Latino popular music, even before the actual European "boom" of so-called "world music". The legendary WOMAD festival developed simultaneously, and during the 1980s both festivals cooperated creatively.
The Roots, guests of Druga godba Festival in 1995, were supposedly the first foreign hip hop band performing in Slovenia
