Straight to Grape
This year, we’re departing from Bratislava, Trnava, and Piešťany. We’ll take you directly to the festival entrance in Trenčín, without unnecessary transfers or extra connections. Just get on and step off right at the venue. Simple.
The festival is back at Trenčín Airport, bringing two days of the music you love. We’ll make sure you get there.
Grape did not start as a big festival dream. It started as an idea by four friends who wanted to put on a good concert for a few thousand people. Since 2010, it has grown into one of the most distinctive festivals in Slovakia. Every August, more than 30,000 people head to Trenčín Airport for Grape, yet the festival has kept what people love about it most: a strong line-up, a free-spirited atmosphere, and the feeling that you are part of something special.The next edition will take place on 14 and 15 August 2026 at Trenčín Airport. Across several stages, you can look forward to names such as Jorja Smith, Yung Lean & Bladee, Parcels, ARTBAT, Brutalismus 3000, Tash Sultana, CMAT, Overmono, The Wombats and Netsky. Grape sells out every year. And so does our transport directly to the festival. If you already know you’re going, don’t leave your bus ticket until the last minute.
Forget navigation, parking, and the eternal question of who’s driving back. Get on board, take your seat, and let us take you directly to Grape. Leave the journey to us. Save your energy for the music, your friends, and the whole weekend.

On Sunday, we’ll be waiting for you directly in front of the main stage. Have breakfast, come to the bus, get on board, and you’ll be home before you know it. No searching for a ride, no uncertainty, and no stress about what to do with your luggage after the festival ends.
At Grape, the focus should be on the music, the people, and the moments. Not parking or driving. Enjoy the festival to the fullest without having to ask who’s behind the wheel. All you need is your ticket, your crew, and a seat on our bus.
Upgrade your journey. Add the Parking extra product to your ticket. Arrive at Nivy in your own car and keep it conveniently parked throughout the festival directly at Nivy, in a covered and monitored underground garage. When you return, your car will be ready exactly where you left it.
In recent years, Grape has sold out long before the festival even began. Unfortunately, the capacity of our buses is limited too. If you already have your festival ticket, buy your bus ticket right away. Don’t leave it until the last minute.
